What is recorded here

Old Hawarden Castle stands in Flintshire, Wales, though no further detail survives to justify the name. A castle implies walls, a courtyard and people brave enough to occupy them, yet none of that is certain. The gap between the claim and the proof is the interesting part: a place can be named twice and still refuse to explain itself.

Old Hawarden Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Flintshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Old Hawarden Castle was built by the de Montalt family in the 13th century and later held by the Earls of Powis. It is important as a medieval stronghold associated with the defense of the Welsh Marches.
