Tump Terrett Castle Mound is a motte of medieval date located in Wales and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The mound forms part of the defensive landscape of the medieval period in the region, representing a common form of fortification employed during the Norman and post-Norman phases of Welsh history. Such mottes typically served as the central strongpoint of early medieval castles, often accompanied by bailey enclosures, and would have functioned as both military installations and administrative centres. The monument remains as an earthwork that contributes to understanding the pattern of medieval settlement and territorial control in its locality.
