Overview

History & significance

Neuadd Goch Castle Mound is a Medieval motte situated in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MG115. The earthwork represents a form of fortification typical of the Norman period and subsequent Medieval centuries, when such mounded defensive structures served as focal points for local lordship and territorial control. The motte itself comprises an artificially raised mound, characteristic of this class of monument, which would originally have supported timber or stone fortifications on its summit. Such structures were particularly prevalent in Wales during the period of Norman expansion and the subsequent consolidation of Anglo-Norman authority in the region.
