New Moat Castle Mound is a motte and bailey castle sited in Pembrokeshire, Wales, dating to the Norman period of medieval Wales. The monument comprises a substantial earthwork mound with an adjoining bailey, typical of the military architecture employed by Norman settlers in South Wales during the twelfth century. The site reflects the strategic importance of the region during the period of Norman expansion into Wales, when such fortifications served as centres of lordly authority and defence. The earthwork survives as a significant example of early medieval military engineering in the Welsh landscape.
