Founded in the 11th century by the de Lacy family, this castle consists of a ringwork and bailey that are still present by today. King John of England owned the castle in the beginning of the 13th century due to the de Lacy's spending most of their time in Ireland, but William de Braose sieged this castle in 1208 in part of destroying the King's property in Herefordshire. The castle was fixed up afterwards, but its later history is unknown. Only damaged earthworks remain of this castle, and you can walk through the site for free.
