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.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Holywell Castle Mound as Motte from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
