What is recorded here

Interior of Carreg Cennen Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Sir Gaerfyrddin / Carmarthenshire, Wales. Perhaps its chambers held breath and shadow long before stones were cut. Maybe the walls still remember the weight of hands that built them. Imagine standing inside the dark, listening for the ghost of a hammer strike.

Built by the de Braose family in the late 13th century, Carreg Cennen Castle was later held by the Crown following the suppression of the Welsh princes. It is important as a well-preserved example of a Welsh Marcher castle and for its strategic role in the Anglo-Welsh conflicts.
