What is recorded here

Rumney Castle (Cae-Castell) stands in Cardiff as a Medieval castle, though no exact chamber or chambered life is recorded here. It may have watched the river, guarded a crossing or simply marked a boundary for people whose names vanished. The castle kind and Medieval period are all that is known, leaving the rest to imagination and the tide of forgotten years.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Rumney Castle (Cae-Castell) 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.

Rumney Castle (Cae-Castell) was built in the late 12th or early 13th century by the de Lucy family, Norman lords of the area. It is remembered as a strategic stronghold in the Marches of Wales, reflecting the turbulent Anglo-Welsh conflicts of the medieval period.
