About Fencing in Builth Wells
Builth Wells in Powys has been settled since the immediate post Roman period, when the British ruler Vortigern is said to have held land there, and the strategic river crossing later attracted the attention of the Norman lord Philip de Braose, who built a motte and bailey fortification around 1100 at this crossing point on the River Wye. That early castle was destroyed by the Welsh prince Rhys ap Gruffudd around 1168, but Edward I began a far more substantial stone fortress on the same site around 1277, ranking Builth Castle alongside Harlech and Caernarfon among his most impressive Welsh strongholds, though today only the earthworks, ditches and mound survive. The town's more recent claim to fame came in 1993, when it hosted the National Eisteddfod, with Gorsedd standing stones erected for the ceremonial druidic rites that form part of the festival.
