Hello Bob,
I think it is Dinas Bran, referred to in Chapter 6 of George Borrow's 'Wild
Wales' It looked to me when I last saw it, many years ago like a heap of
large stones precariously perched on a pointed peak. I have not been up to
it, only viewed it from the main road.
I do not have a clue what it may have looked like 500 years ago.
Not any help in your quest - Sorry
Gordon

Subject: [POWYS] Castles in Wales
Does anyone know what Dinas Powys Castle was back in the 15-16
hundreds. I’m
trying to identify a picture of a 4 story castle and rumour circulating
that Edwards Hall, ca. 1566 was this property for sale back in 2001.

“Dinas Powys Castle is for sale, perhaps more in hope than expectation.
Anthony Clay, of Cardiff estate agents Cooke & Arkwright, calls it "the
most unusual property I have ever handled - it makes a change from the
customary des res".” (1)

“Richard’s youngest son who, as legend goes, was to inherit Edwards Hall
at Cardiff was born in Somerset and christened at North Petherton on 22
November 1566.”(1)
