Llangwm Mound and Bailey Castle is a motte-and-bailey fortification located in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and dates to the Norman period following the late eleventh-century conquest and settlement of South Wales. The site comprises a substantial earthen mound with an associated bailey, representing a typical form of early Norman defensive architecture employed during the establishment of Anglo-Norman control in the region. The castle's strategic location reflects the military consolidation of Norman lordship in Pembrokeshire during the late medieval period.
