More about this scene
The first Norman castle at Cardiff is thought to have been built in c1081, possibly on the site of a Welsh stronghold. Robert FitzHamon chose to build his castle within the ruins of the old Roman fortress, raising a motte in the north-west corner. Additional protection came by digging out the original Roman ditch defences and piling the spoil over what remained of the circuit walls to create a rampart.
