Pant-Glas Castle Mound is a medieval motte located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, representing the defensive earthwork tradition of Norman and post-Norman Wales. The monument consists of a substantial artificial mound, characteristic of early medieval fortification strategy employed in the Welsh marches and throughout Wales from the eleventh century onwards. Such mottes typically supported timber or stone structures on their summits and functioned as administrative and military strongpoints controlling surrounding territory. The site's survival as an earthwork monument preserves evidence of medieval settlement hierarchy and territorial organisation in the region.
