Wern-y-Cwrt Castle Mound is a motte of Norman date located in Wales and recorded by Cadw as a scheduled ancient monument under reference MM099. The earthwork consists of a raised mound characteristic of early medieval fortifications, typical of the castle-building phase that followed the Norman conquest of Wales. Such mottes served as defensive strongholds and administrative centres, with their elevated position providing strategic advantage for controlling surrounding territory. The site reflects the pattern of Norman settlement and consolidation across Wales during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
