Narberth Castle, Grade I listed Norman castle in Narberth, Wales.
The castle contains two quarter-engaged drum towers with battered bases, a vaulted cellar, and remnants of a rectangular enclosure measuring 40 meters north to south.
Built after 1257 following the destruction of Sentence Castle, Narberth Castle was granted to Sir Rhys ap Thomas in 1516 before reverting to crown ownership in 1531.
The fortress appears in the third branch of the Mabinogi as the location where Rhiannon carried travelers through its gates as punishment.
The castle ruins stand on private land and require viewing from a distance due to current safety restrictions and preservation efforts.
Archaeological excavations near the castle revealed more than 20 graves dating from the 12th to 13th centuries, indicating the presence of an ancient church.
