Tinboeth Castle, Medieval castle ruins near Llanbadarn Fynydd, Wales.

The remains of Tinboeth Castle include stone walls, a twin-towered gatehouse, and a circular enclosure measuring 100 meters in diameter on the River Ithon bank.

Roger Mortimer constructed the fortification during the 13th century, and after his death, the castle transferred to Crown ownership before falling into disrepair.

The medieval structure incorporated an Iron Age hillfort's defensive features, demonstrating the strategic reuse of ancient Welsh fortification methods in Norman castle building.

The archaeological site stands 11 miles from Llandrindod Wells, with visible remains of the gatehouse, curtain wall foundations, and numerous house platforms.

The castle's inner bailey contained a stone curtain wall accessed through an 8-meter square gatehouse, while the outer bailey utilized the existing Iron Age fortifications.
