The Moat Mound and Bailey Castle at Tre Fedw is a motte and bailey castle situated in Wales, representing a typical Norman defensive earthwork of the medieval period. The monument comprises a raised mound with an associated bailey, the characteristic two-part fortification design employed extensively throughout Wales and the Welsh Marches following the Norman conquest. Dating to the medieval period, likely the 11th or 12th century, the site demonstrates the strategic importance of local territorial control during this era of Anglo-Norman expansion into Wales. The earthwork survives as an upstanding archaeological monument, preserving evidence of early medieval military architecture in its physical form.
