Sentence Castle Mound is a motte situated near Amroth in Pembrokeshire, Wales, dating to the Norman period following the late eleventh-century invasion of South Wales. The earthwork comprises a substantial raised mound typical of early Norman defensive architecture, constructed to command the local landscape and serve as a stronghold for the incoming Norman lords. The site represents the pattern of motte-and-bailey fortification employed by Norman settlers to establish territorial control across South Wales during the period of conquest and consolidation. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw's protection, it remains an important archaeological witness to the Norman colonisation of the Pembrokeshire region.
