Twthill (walisisk: Twtil) er et voldsted fra en tidligere normannisk borg, der ligger tæt på byen Rhuddlan, Denbighshire i Wales. Den historiske navn inkluerer Toothill og Tot Hill, og den kendesogså navnet Old Rhuddlan Castle. Det var en motte-and-bailey-fæstning, opført i 1073 af Robert af Rhuddlan, og den blev senere erstattet af den meget større borg Rhuddlan Castle i sten. De eneste tilbageværende rester er den store motte, og mindre rester af murværk på baileyen. Den varetages af Cadw.[1]

Twthill This is the site of the first castle in Rhuddlan, which was a motte and bailey castle raised by Robert of Rhuddlan in 1073. According to the Domesday book (1086), William the Conqueror granted him power over the whole of north Wales beyond the Clwyd for an annual rent of £40. On top of this mound, the "motte", there would have been a wooden stockade and tower.
