    Archaeologists investigate east side of once-mighty 13th century Welsh castle


    A mysterious crumbled castle, built by the Earl of Surrey following the defeat of the Prince of Wales in Wrexham in 1282 but abandoned during the mid-17th century, is being investigated by archaeologists who believe they could find the remains of five huge round towers which once surrounded the site.

    Only the central courtyard remains at Holt Castle, a pentagonal structure designed by John de Warenne and later used as a stone quarry.

    Experts discovered the foundations of one of the towers, to the west of the courtyard, alongside traces of the entrance tower and a rock-cut ditch during a dig last year.

    I'd love to visit and explore this 13th century castle in the beautiful, lush, green and magical Celtic land of Wales. Wales has more castles than any other nation in the world.

    Castle ruins are magical and highly romantic.
