Erected for the 1923 National Eisteddfod in Mold.

Steps going up the motte. The castle was built c.1100 on a natural glacial mound.

This Gosedd Circle was laid out in 1922, for the proclamation ceremony heralding the National Eisteddford visiting Mold in 1923. The circle is on a levelled area of Bailey Hill's outer ditch originally built as part of its defences in the twelfth century. Gorsedd Stones (Welsh: Cerrig yr Orsedd) are groups of standing stones constructed for the National Eisteddfod of Wales. They form an integral part of the Druidic Gorsedd ceremonies of the Eisteddfod. Each stone structure is arranged in a circular formation typically consisting of twelve stone pillars, sometimes from the local area and sometimes, the stones have been brought in to represent the Welsh counties. A large, flat-topped stone, known as the Logan Stone. http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/northeastwales/hi/people_and_places/nature/newsid_8659000/8659622.stm - BBC North east Wales http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorsedd_stones - Wikipedia

This large, flat-topped stone, known as the Logan Stone, lies at the centre of the Gorsedd circle (Image] ). The Logan Stone serves as a platform for the proclamation ceremony of future National Eisteddfodau. The Archdruid of the Gorsedd of Bards stands upon the Logan Stone during the ceremony.

Bailey Hill is the site of a motte and bailey Norman castle dating from about 1100AD.
