Castell Trefadog

A very heavily-defended coastal site. Recent excavation revealed the foundations of a 14th-century stone house inside an enclosure. An unusual site, perhaps akin to Penmaen Castle, Gower. Some have suggested a Viking origin for the site. A Guide to Ancient and Historic Wales: Gwynedd, Frances Lynch, Cadw: Welsh Historic Monuments, London, 1995.
