Maesmor Hall Castle Mound is a medieval motte situated in Denbighshire, Wales, representing the earthwork remains of a Norman or early medieval fortified settlement. The monument consists of a substantial mound which would have originally supported a timber or stone defensive structure, typical of motte-and-bailey castles constructed during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Its survival as an archaeological site preserves evidence of the early medieval settlement pattern and military organisation of the Welsh Marches during the period following the Norman conquest.
