What is recorded here

Newtown Hall Castle Mound rises in Powys as a Medieval motte, its earth shaped deliberately rather than left to chance. That much is clear. What is missing is the life that moved around it: whether it watched a road, guarded a hall, or simply marked power in a small place. The mound still does that last thing, holding shape long after its people disappeared.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Newtown Hall 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.

Newtown Hall Castle Mound is a medieval motte, likely built in the 12th or 13th century, representing a key type of early military and administrative structure in the Welsh Marches. Its importance lies in its contribution to understanding medieval land use and frontier defense in Wales.
