Castlebythe Motte is a small isolated mound immediately adjacent to a public road. There is no evidence of a bailey here, and the mound itself is completely overgrown, On the other side of the road was a small church dedicated to St Michael, now demolished. About 200 metres to the north-east is the large polygonal defended enclosure named Castell Y Fuwch. This is unrelated to the motte and almost certainly pre-medieval.
