Lower Min-y-Llyn Motte is a fortified promontory overlooking an old for across the River Severn. The site consists of a ditched motte protected on one side by the river valley and the other by a gully containing a stream. There may have been a bailey to the north, recalled by the shape of the farmyard, but there is no archaeological remains to show. The motte is covered by trees and lies behind the farm, so cannot be seen from public roads and permission must be gained to access the site.
