Pont-Hendre castle mound is a scheduled ancient monument in Herefordshire comprising an earthwork motte situated near the Welsh border. The mound dates to the Norman period, likely constructed during the eleventh or twelfth century as part of the defensive network established following the Norman Conquest. The earthwork survives as a substantial raised platform, characteristic of early Norman castle construction, though the site has not undergone extensive archaeological investigation that would establish further details of its development or abandonment. Its location within the borderlands reflects the strategic importance of this region during the period of Norman expansion into Wales.
