What is recorded here
Cwm Camlais holds a medieval castle mound where human hands shaped earth into a defensible form. The valley may have echoed with footsteps, commands and quiet fear during the Medieval period. A mound still visible today suggests people valued the height enough to build upon it.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Cwm Camlais, Motte; Castle Mound, Cwm Camlais 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
