The Mount Mound and Bailey Castle, Hundred House, is a motte and bailey castle situated in Radnorshire, Wales. The monument comprises an earthen mound with an associated bailey, representing a common form of Norman military architecture of the late eleventh and twelfth centuries. Such structures served as temporary or semi-permanent fortifications during the period of Norman conquest and consolidation in Wales, providing defensive positions from which lords could control surrounding territory. The site's preservation as an upstanding earthwork allows study of this important class of medieval defensive work.
