What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castell Cnwclas; Knucklas Castle; Castle Ring as Castle from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Knucklas Castle, also known as Castell Cnwclas or Castle Ring, was built in the late 13th or early 14th century by the de Lacy family, later held by the powerful Clugnet family. It is remembered as a key defensive structure in the Welsh Marches and for its association with the Clugnets, who played a significant role in regional politics during the late medieval period.
