Oldcastle-Upon-Alun

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Oldcastle-Upon-Alun as Fortified House 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.

Oldcastle-Upon-Alun was a medieval fortified house, likely built in the 13th or 14th century, during a period of increasing feudal activity in Wales. It is remembered as an example of the type of defensive domestic architecture that emerged in response to the Anglo-Welsh conflicts of the late Middle Ages.
