About this day out

Castell Ystrad Peithyll (also known as Rhosgoch Motte) is a medieval castle mound in Ceredigion, identified with the 'Stradpeithyll' mentioned in the Chronicle of the Princes (Brut-y-Tywysogion). The steep-sided mound, some 20m in diameter and 3.6m high with a level summit about 12.5m across, is carved from the west end of a spur above a stream confluence and surrounded by a great flat-bottomed ditch up to 15m wide. Built in the years following Henry I's grant of Ceredigion to Gilbert fitz Richard in 1110, it was the seat of Razo the steward in 1113 before being assaulted and burnt by Welsh princes.
