Carreghofa Castle (Welsh: Castell Carreghwfa) was a Norman timber and masonry castle located in the Welsh village of Carreghofa, Powys.[1][2] Between its construction in 1101 and destruction in 1236, it was the site of many battles between rival Welsh and English forces.[3][4] Archaeological remains of the castle's perimeter, uncovered in the late 19th century, are all that remains of the structure.[3][5]
