What is recorded here

Aberedw Castle stands as a ruined rectangular stone box with corner towers, marked by a wide moat and the ghost of an eastern causeway. It may have replaced an older motte and bailey, yet it is better remembered as the last retreat of Llewelyn ap Gruffydd before his death in 1282. The railway later took much of the west side, dragging castle stones into its foundations and leaving the remaining walls exposed to erosion.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Aberedw Castle 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.

Aberedw Castle was built in the 13th century by the Norman Marcher lord Robert de Romilly. It is remembered as a strategic stronghold controlling the lower Wye Valley and the border between England and Wales.
