Caer Penrhos is a superbly-sited, magnificent ringwork castle, apparently built within an earlier Iron Age hillfort, which has been used as a bailey. The castle was built in 1149, some say by Cadwaladr, son of Gruffydd ap Cynan. The earthworks are well preserved on this site of considerable strength.
