Panmure Castle and Moat is a medieval fortified site located in Angus, Scotland, comprising a motte-and-bailey earthwork with associated castle remains. The motte, a prominent artificial mound, represents the defensive core of what was likely a significant baronial stronghold dating from the medieval period, with the castle structure itself showing evidence of later development and modification. The site stands as an important example of Norman-influenced fortification design in Scotland, reflecting the settlement and territorial control patterns of the medieval aristocracy in the region. The earthworks remain substantially preserved, providing archaeological evidence of both the initial motte construction and subsequent occupation phases.
