Altre informazioni

Tomen y Mur Roman military complex & Norman motte looking SSW to the Rhinogs. An auxiliary fort, built AD75 (or 77 or 78 as part of Agricola's campaign in Wales), with earth & timber defences enclosing c 2ha (5 acres). Reduced in size under Trajan (AD98-117), to 1.56ha (3.9 acres) within stone-faced ramparts & abandoned under Hadrian by c 130. In 1095 a Norman motte associated with William Rufus (son of William the Conqueror) was built over the NW entrance of the reduced Roman fort, its ramparts providing a ready-made bailey. A length of restored Roman wall is visible before the motte & to R of the ruined farmhouse. The pre-motte site features as Mur y Castell in the story of Math fab Mathonwy (Fourth Branch of The Mabinogi).
