Stanage Mound and Bailey is a motte and bailey castle located in Radnorshire, Wales, representing a characteristic form of Norman defensive fortification dating to the medieval period. The monument comprises an earthwork consisting of a raised mound with an associated bailey enclosure, typical of the castle-building strategy employed in Wales and the Welsh Marches during the Norman conquest and settlement of the region. The site's physical remains reflect the practical military engineering of its age, constructed primarily from earth and timber rather than masonry. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, Stanage Mound and Bailey contributes to the archaeological understanding of medieval frontier settlement and territorial control in post-Conquest Wales.
