Newport Castle, Monmouthshire

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Newport Castle, Monmouthshire 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.

Newport Castle was built in the late 13th century by Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Gloucester, as a strategic stronghold following the Welsh Wars. It is remembered for its historical significance in the administration of the Marcher lordships and its role in the suppression of Welsh uprisings.
