Narberth Castle is a medieval fortification situated in the town of Narberth in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The castle was established in the late eleventh or early twelfth century as a Norman stronghold, forming part of the network of defensive structures constructed following the Norman conquest of South Wales. The site comprises a motte-and-bailey earthwork with substantial surviving banks and ditches, characteristic of early Norman military architecture in the region. The castle served as a significant administrative and defensive centre throughout the medieval period, though substantial stone structures were not constructed, leaving the earthwork fortification as the primary archaeological record of its occupation.
