White Castle [1] An information board about White Castle being one of three. White Castle (Welsh: Castell Gwyn), also known historically as Llantilio Castle, is sited near the village of Llantilio Crossenny in Monmouthshire. The first castle, of earth and timber, was probably built soon after the Norman conquest. The castle was rebuilt in stone in the early 13th century with curtain walls, mural towers and a gatehouse. In the mid 13th century the large outer ward was enclosed with a curtain wall and its own gatehouse. The castle never saw action, became disused and was in ruins by the early 17th century. The ruins are of red sandstone rubble stone, with ashlar dressings.

White Castle (Welsh: Castell Gwyn), also known historically as Llantilio Castle, is sited near the village of Llantilio Crossenny in Monmouthshire. The first castle, of earth and timber, was probably built soon after the Norman conquest. The castle was rebuilt in stone in the early 13th century with curtain walls, mural towers and a gatehouse. In the mid 13th century the large outer ward was enclosed with a curtain wall and its own gatehouse. The castle never saw action, became disused and was in ruins by the early 17th century. The ruins are of red sandstone rubble stone, with ashlar dressings. The remains are in the care of Cadw and are listed, grade I, with details at: <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> 2079 The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument with details at: <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/sam/FullReport?lang=&id=" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/sam/FullReport?lang=&id=">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> 2957
