About Tredustan Castle
Tredustan Castle (also known as Tredustan motte) was a castle that used to stand in Tredustan in Wales (near to Talgarth). The mound was most likely constructed around 1094/1095 by a knight of Lord Bernard de Neufmarché called Sir Humphrey Sollers after the Battle of Brecon which was a Norman victory of the Welsh of Brycheiniog.
