Tomen y Faerdre

Image: © Eirian Evans Taken: 14 Jan 2019

Tomen y Faerdre is an impressive motte, 6m high on the east and 25m across the summit. It sits on a natural rock outcrop, forming a cliff above the river Alyn. An artificial ditch runs around its remaining sides, tapering down towards the stream on the south, but ending in mid-air above the crag on the north. http://www.castlewales.com/faerdre.html
