Ystrad-Meurig Castle is a twelfth-century fortification situated in the Teifi valley in Ceredigion, Wales. The castle comprises earthwork defences including a motte-and-bailey structure, representing a typical Norman defensive installation of the post-conquest period. It was constructed to control the local landscape and maintain Norman authority in this region of mid-Wales. The site is now largely reduced to earthwork remains, though its medieval defensive configuration remains archaeologically legible.
