Castell y Grysmwnt is a castle in Monmouthshire, Wales. The name means castle of the shrew or mouse, hinting that a small creature once lived inside its walls. Perhaps it gnawed ropes, stole cheese or watched people from a beam. The castle still belongs to that memory, even if no tower remains visible.
Castell y Grysmwnt is shown as a castle on the public map of Monmouthshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Castell y Grysmwnt is a medieval Welsh castle, likely built during the 13th or 14th century, though specific builders or holders are not recorded. It is remembered as part of the network of castles in the Welsh Marches, reflecting the strategic and military significance of the region during the late medieval period.
