Llantrisant Castle is a medieval fortification situated in the town of Llantrisant in Glamorgan, South Wales. The castle consists of substantial earthwork defences comprising a motte and bailey arrangement, representing a common form of Norman defensive architecture established in Wales during the late eleventh and twelfth centuries. The site occupies a commanding position overlooking the settlement and reflects the pattern of Norman military consolidation across South Wales following the conquest. The earthworks remain substantially preserved, preserving evidence of the castle's role in the medieval territorial control of the region.
