    Description
    Llyssun Castle is a motte and bailey castle resting on a scarp above the Banwy floodplain. The ditched motte is c.20m in diameter and 4.0m high, with a summit only 4.0m in diameter, with the bailey to the west represented by a sub-rectangular scarped platform, 16m by 12m.

    The placename 'Llyssum' may be significant.
