Pen y Clawdd Castle Mound is a post-medieval motte located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under reference MM145. The earthwork survives as a substantial mound, characteristic of motte-and-bailey fortifications, though its post-medieval dating indicates it may have served recreational or defensive purposes in a later phase than the typical Norman motte castles of Wales. The site's precise historical context and original function remain subjects of archaeological study, though its preservation as a scheduled monument recognises its importance to understanding the settlement and defensive landscape of its region.
