OYSTERMOUTH CASTLE

The original wooden structure was destroyed in 1100 but it was rebuilt in stone in 1106. This was destroyed in 1215 and restored in 1285 with a tall tower added at the start of the 14th century. The castle was abandoned by 1550 and the gatehouse towers were demolished during the Civil War. Some restoration was carried out in the 19th century to protect the remains.
