Tower House

What is recorded here

Llandough Castle Tower House stands in the Vale of Glamorgan as a Post Medieval and Medieval structure, its stones holding the weight of centuries rather than a single dramatic event. The tower may have watched cattle move through narrow valleys or provided refuge when storms broke across the coast. Its endurance suggests people valued the site enough to build, defend, and remember it long after the first timber frames rotted.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Llandough Castle Tower House, Llandough-By-Cowbridge as Tower House from the Post Medieval; Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
