Twthill (Further and Additional Areas) is a motte and bailey earthwork situated in Flintshire, Wales, representing medieval military architecture of the Norman period. The site comprises defensive earthworks characteristic of early medieval fortification, with the motte forming an elevated artificial mound designed to support a timber or stone structure.
