Twyn y Cregen Castle Mound is a motte situated in Wales, designated as a scheduled monument under the care of Cadw. The earthwork represents a characteristic example of early medieval defensive architecture, typical of the motte-and-bailey fortifications established during the Norman period in Wales. The monument consists of a substantial raised mound that would have originally supported timber or stone fortifications, serving as a stronghold for territorial control. Such mottes formed part of the Norman military strategy for establishing authority across the Welsh landscape during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
