What is recorded here

Carreghofa Castle rose in 1101 as an unauthorised border thorn, changing hands between Welsh princes and English kings until Llewelyn ap Iorwerth destroyed it in 1236. The frequent betrayals and battles suggest a place where loyalty was a weapon rather than a virtue. Carreghofa Hall may still occupy that exact castle site, carrying the violence forward into ordinary domestic life.
