Llangibby Castle Mound is a medieval motte situated in Monmouthshire, Wales. The earthwork comprises a substantial artificial mound typical of Norman defensive architecture, likely constructed in the eleventh or twelfth century as part of the Anglo-Norman settlement of South Wales. The mound would originally have been crowned by timber or stone fortifications commanding the surrounding landscape, though no significant masonry structures survive. The site represents a characteristic example of early medieval military engineering employed during the period of Norman expansion into Welsh territories.
