Motte-and-bailey castles date back to the medieval period, from 1066 to 1540 AD.[1] As such, the motte is of national importance, which may improve our understanding of medieval defensive structures.
Present dayedit
Caer Castell Camp is today located within the grounds of St Illtyd's Catholic High School. The structure is about 45 meters (148 ft) in diameter at its base, at its top about 33 meters (108 ft) in diameter and about 9 meters (30 ft) high. Some landscaping has been carried out but the site is overgrown with trees, shrubs and brambles.[2]
