What is recorded here
Castell Crugerydd is a fort in Powys, Wales. Perhaps the motte and bailey remains still hold the shape of hands that built them. Maybe the earth remembers the weight of boots and the smell of rain on wood. Imagine a guard standing alone while the valley fills with fog.
Motte and bailey remains
Castell Crugerydd was a Norman motte and bailey castle, likely built in the 12th century following the Welsh Marches conquests. It is remembered as a strategic defensive site in the post-Conquest consolidation of Welsh territories.
