Tomen yr Allt Castle Mound is a motte of Norman date located in Wales. The earthwork comprises a prominent artificial mound typical of early medieval fortification, raised to command the surrounding landscape. Such mottes formed the first line of Norman defensive strategy in Wales during the eleventh and twelfth centuries, often serving as administrative centres and military strongholds for territorial control. The monument remains substantially preserved as an archaeological feature of significance to understanding early Norman settlement and military architecture in the Welsh landscape.
