What is recorded here
Newport Castle (site) marks a lost castle in Pembrokeshire, Wales, where stone and purpose once collided before memory thinned. The land may still carry the shape of that forgotten build, even if no tower remains for a hand to touch.
Newport Castle (site) is shown as a castle on the public map of Pembrokeshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Newport Castle was built by the Normans in the 12th or 13th century and held by the de Braose family, important Marcher lords in south-west Wales. It is remembered for its strategic role in controlling the region and its association with the turbulent medieval history of Pembrokeshire.
