Coity Castle
Coity Castle is a Norman castle in Bridgend, Glamorgan, Wales, founded in the 11th–12th century by the de Turberville family. Now a Grade I listed building, the site survives as substantial ruined curtain walls and the remains of a rectangular keep and domestic ranges within a circular inner ward.

As it stood in 1560
The shape it held in its prime.
On a low rise the castle forms a roughly circular inner ward about 46 metres across, protected by stone curtain walls up to about 9 metres high. A rectangular three-storey keep and several projecting towers rise from the curtain, one tall slender chimney-like tower visible on the east; window and arrow-slit openings puncture the walls. Domestic ranges lie against the inner face of the curtain with visible vaulted undercroft spaces; the masonry is roughly coursed grey local stone.
