From the Wikipedia article
Carreghofa Castle (Welsh: Castell Carreghwfa) was a Norman timber and masonry castle located in the Welsh village of Carreghofa, Powys. Between its construction in 1101 and destruction in 1236, it was the site of many battles between rival Welsh and English forces. Archaeological remains of the castle's perimeter, uncovered in the late 19th century, are all that remains of the structure.
