Holywell Castle Mound

Motte

What is recorded here

Holywell Castle Mound is a Medieval motte in Flintshire, Wales, recorded in the National Monuments Record of Wales. A tall earthwork suggests people shaped the land deliberately, perhaps raising a warning point, a home or a boundary marker during the Medieval period. The mound still stands because soil remembered the hands that moved it.
