Llangwathan Castle Mound is a motte situated in Pembrokeshire, Wales, representing the Norman colonisation of South Wales during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The monument survives as an earthwork comprising a raised mound typical of motte-and-bailey fortifications, though archaeological investigation and documentary record remain limited for this particular site. Like many mottes of the post-Conquest period in the Welsh border regions and South Wales, it would have functioned as a fortified settlement and administrative centre during the early medieval period. The site is protected as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw designation PE434.
