Newcastle Castle is a motte and bailey castle situated in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (MM085) by Cadw. The site comprises an earthwork mound typical of Norman defensive architecture, dating to the medieval period following the Norman expansion into Wales. The castle's strategic location reflects the importance of controlling territorial access during the period of Anglo-Norman settlement and consolidation of power in the Welsh borderlands. As with many such fortifications, Newcastle Castle would have served both military and administrative functions within the feudal hierarchy of medieval Wales.
