Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Interim report on the half of the castle uncovered so far: it was built (or rebuilt) by Llewelyn ap Gruffydd to protect his territory from both the English and the Welsh, in about 1273. It passed to Roger Mortimer in 1277, but by 1382 was 'worth nothing'. The keep was found to be of two phases (with evidence of catapult attack), and the NE defence was based on a circular tower. The site was strong, but the castle elements were randomly and weakly disposed upon it. Llewelyn's town below was turned into in an estate farm by the Mortimers. | |||
