More about this scene

It has been argued that Dolwyddelan was not Iorwerth's castle at all, and that the honour should in fact be bestowed upon nearby Tomen Castell; here, there are the remains of a rectangular tower. The surviving rectangular tower at Dolwyddelan is thought to have been built as late as 1270, possibly by Llywelyn ap Gruffydd as a two-storey structure. A third storey was added in the 15th century.
