Stormy Castle is a motte and bailey fortification located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference GM217. The site comprises an earthen motte with an attached bailey, representing the typical Norman approach to rapid castle construction in Wales during the twelfth century. The monument survives as an earthwork, with the motte forming a raised artificial mound that would originally have supported timber or stone fortifications. As a motte and bailey castle, Stormy Castle reflects the strategic defence requirements of the Norman settlement and control of the Welsh borderlands during the early medieval period.
