Castle; Motte

What is recorded here

Ystradowen, Castle Mound is a Medieval castle mound in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. Earth and memory still hold the shape of a place where power stood before it disappeared. The mound may have watched roads, herds or argument, while people came and went without warning. What is left is a ridge of patience, waiting for someone to imagine the life that built it.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Ystradowen, Castle Mound as Castle; Motte 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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
