Castell Aberlleiniog, Medieval castle near Llangoed, United Kingdom.
The remains of Castell Aberlleiniog feature a stone keep with three standing towers atop a motte, surrounded by an 11-meter-wide dry ditch.
Hugh of Avranches constructed the castle between 1088 and 1090, leading to a significant battle in 1094 where 124 Norman defenders lost their lives.
The fortification represents the Norman attempts to establish control over Welsh territories through strategic positioning along the Menai Strait.
Visitors reach the castle through marked pathways in the woodland, with additional sites like Penmon Lighthouse and Puffin Island in close proximity.
The structure underwent transformation from timber to stone before the mid-17th century, when Thomas Cheadle, Beaumaris Castle's constable, ordered its destruction.
