Neuadd Goch Castle Mound is a Medieval motte situated in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MG115. The site represents a typical Norman earthwork fortification of the eleventh or twelfth century, consisting of a raised mound that would have supported a timber or stone structure serving defensive and administrative purposes. The motte's archaeological significance lies in its preservation as evidence of Norman settlement and territorial control in the Welsh landscape during the Medieval period, reflecting the broader pattern of castle construction that accompanied Norman expansion into Wales following the late eleventh century. As a relatively modest example of motte-and-bailey fortification types, it contributes to our understanding of Medieval military architecture and the Norman consolidation of power in the region.
