Cadwgan Hall Mound

Plas Cadwgan mound is a mutilated oval hillock used for livestock in a field next to the farm of the same name. It is immediately next to Offa’s Dyke, and part of it was cut away to create an air raid shelter in the Second World War. There is some debate about whether it was actually a motte or not, but strategically it matches others of this type next to a crossing point and stream. There is no evidence of a bailey but there is the suggestion of a ditch, and that it was used as a burial mound in antiquity.
