What is recorded here
Caerleon Castle still keeps a medieval tower above Hanbury Arms. Whether the tower guarded a gate, watched a road or simply marked a boundary, people lived beside it and passed under its shadow. The stones have outlasted every name spoken in anger or joy around them.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Medieval Tower at Hanbury Arms; Tower of Caerleon Castle as Tower 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 tower was part of Caerleon Castle, originally built by the Normans in the 11th century, and later held by various Marcher lords. It is remembered as a significant medieval military site near the Roman town of Caerleon, reflecting the strategic importance of the area during the Norman conquest of Wales.
