What is recorded here

The circular keep of Dinefwr Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Sir Gaerfyrddin / Carmarthenshire, Wales. Perhaps its round walls were built to turn back arrows and remember the men who died stopping them. Maybe the stone still holds the heat of those last fierce days. Imagine a keeper walking the curve at dusk, listening for the first knock on the gate.

Built by the Welsh prince Rhys ap Gruffydd in the 12th century, Dinefwr Castle was a key stronghold in the struggle for control of south-west Wales. The circular keep, one of the few surviving examples in Wales, is remembered for its unique design and historical significance in the region's medieval history.
