Oldcastle Twt is a motte-and-bailey castle located in Herefordshire, England. The monument comprises an earthen motte, or mound, typical of early Norman fortification design, with evidence of bailey defences. Such castles were characteristic of the immediate post-Conquest period, representing the rapid establishment of Norman military control across England in the late eleventh century. The site demonstrates the strategic importance placed on territorial defence in the Welsh border region during this formative period of medieval settlement.
