What is recorded here
Nantcribba Castle is a medieval enclosure in Powys, Wales, built by the Corbett, Barons of Caus. In 1263 Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn took the place for Llywelyn the Great, and the Corbets regained the area after 1277. Thomas Pennant described a square fort with corner towers, thick walls, small rooms, melted lead and vitrified debris on a conoid rock beside Offa's Dyke. The castle may have been Gwyddgrug, though that identification is not certain.
