Buddugre Castle

Buddugre Castle (sometimes referred to as Tomen Bedd-Ugre) was a motte and bailey defensive fortification overlooking the River Ithon, located in the community of Llanddewi Ystradenny, in Radnorshire (modern-day Powys), Wales. It is believed to have been built in the 12th century. Its structures are long gone, but the land still clearly bears the marks of a ditched motte and an oval embanked and ditched bailey.
