Sentence Castle Mound is a motte dating to the Norman period in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The monument consists of a substantial earthwork mound characteristic of early medieval fortifications, representing the type of defensive structure established by Norman settlers in south Wales during the late eleventh and twelfth centuries. The site reflects the strategic consolidation of Norman power in the region following the initial phases of conquest and settlement. The mound survives as an important example of motte-and-bailey fortification practice in Pembrokeshire, where such works formed part of the wider network of Norman military installations.
