Cymer Castle - Castell Cymer

This is a Welsh motte castle possibly built in the twelfth century. Traditionally it is thought to be a castle built by Uchdryd ap Edwin in 1116 and destroyed in the same year. The remains of some stonework are on the site's motte which lies within the former deer park belonging to the abbots of Cymer Abbey. It is located off the A470 about a mile west of the village of Llanelltyd in Gwynedd, Cymru and is north of Dolgellau.
