Stanage Mound and Bailey Castle is a motte and bailey fortification located in Radnorshire, Wales, representing the Norman strategy of establishing defensive strongholds across the Welsh Marches during the medieval period. The monument comprises the characteristic earthwork features of this fortification type: a raised mound or motte with an associated bailey or defended enclosure, typical of eleventh and twelfth century military architecture. As with many motte and bailey castles in this region, Stanage likely served both as a military installation to control local territory and as an administrative centre during the Norman consolidation of the Welsh borders. The site is scheduled as an ancient monument under Welsh heritage protection.
