Rhysnant Hall Castle Mound is a Medieval ringwork monument located in Wales and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Cadw SAM MG142). The site comprises an earthwork defensive structure typical of the twelfth century, consisting of a circular or oval-shaped mound surrounded by a ditch, a form of fortification common in the Norman period across Britain and Wales. Such ringworks served as modest but effective strongholds for local lords or military garrisons, occupying a functional middle ground between simple moated sites and more elaborate stone castles. The monument preserves important archaeological evidence of early Medieval settlement and defensive strategy in the Welsh landscape.
