What is recorded here
Talley Mound - Castle Earthworks is a Medieval motte and bailey in Sir Gaerfyrddin, Carmarthenshire, Wales. Earthworks of that shape usually meant a wooden hall, a defensive ditch and a mound tall enough to watch the valley. People may have lived there under pressure, not as tourists, because the layout still answers to fear and control. The mound remains as a bruise in the land, waiting for someone to imagine the hands that threw it.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Talley Mound - Castle Earthworks as Motte and Bailey 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.
