What is recorded here
Trecastell;Scurlage Castle stands in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales, as a Post Medieval house remembered through the national record. The name suggests a castle, yet the facts point to a dwelling rather than a fortress. That gap between expectation and evidence is the interesting part. A house can be as strange as a castle when nobody is certain what it was built to do.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Trecastell;Scurlage Castle as House from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Trecastell;Scurlage Castle was built during the Post Medieval period and is recorded as a house, likely held by a local gentry family. It is important as a surviving example of domestic architecture from this period in Wales.
