What is recorded here

Newport Castle in Pembrokeshire is a castle on the public map, but the available facts describe Newport Castle in Newport, Wales. That castle stood beside the River Usk, charged people for the crossing, and resisted Owain Glyndŵr only long enough to be sacked in 1402. Its stones may have marked a busy river gate where boats, tenants and soldiers rubbed against each other.

Newport Castle 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 century and later held by the de Clare family. It is important as a strategic stronghold in the defense of Pembrokeshire during the medieval period.
