Twyn Tudor is a motte-and-bailey earthwork located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference MM035. The site comprises a substantial mound typical of Norman defensive architecture, constructed during the medieval period, probably in the eleventh or twelfth century. The motte served as a fortified stronghold in the borderlands of Wales, reflecting the period of Anglo-Norman military expansion and settlement in the region. Today the earthwork survives as a prominent topographical feature, with the mound and associated bailey remains providing archaeological evidence of early medieval military strategy and lordship control.
