Maesmor Hall Castle Mound is a motte of medieval date located in Denbighshire, Wales. The earthwork comprises a substantial mound characteristic of motte-and-bailey fortifications, which represent a common form of Norman and post-Norman military architecture in Wales and the borderlands. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, it preserves evidence of the defensive strategies employed during the medieval period in this region. The site's survival as an upstanding earthwork makes it an important archaeological record of early medieval fortification practice, though detailed excavation and documentary evidence specific to this particular mound remain limited in the scholarly record.
