What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Caerleon Castle as Castle from the Post Medieval; Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Caerleon Castle was originally built by the Romans as a legionary fortress known as Isca Silurum, and later a medieval castle was constructed on the site, likely by the Normans in the 11th or 12th century. It is important as a site of both Roman and medieval military history in Wales.
