Bleddfa Castle

Archaeological place

What is recorded here

Bleddfa Castle, meaning abode of the wolves, was a motte and bailey fortress built before 1195 near Llangunllo in Powys. Llewelyn ap Gruffydd razed it in 1262, and Edward I stripped its stones for a church tower in 1304. What remains is a mutilated oval mound with traces of masonry, still shadowed by the Radnor Forest where wolves once ran.
Bleddfa Castle is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Powys. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
