Ewloe Castle
Ewloe Castle (Castell Ewloe) is a native Welsh medieval castle on a wooded promontory in Flintshire, north-east Wales. Built of locally quarried sandstone, it combines motte-and-bailey and enclosure elements with an inner D-shaped keep and an outer ward with a circular tower; it was abandoned in the late 13th century and survives as a ruin within Wepre Park.

As it stood in 1257
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a steep, wooded promontory above the meeting of two streams, Ewloe is built of locally quarried sandstone with an asymmetrical curtain wall and parapets enclosing two courtyards. The upper triangular inner ward contains a D-shaped (horseshoe) stone keep standing on a rock outcrop with a stone revetment; a lower outer ward is formed by two wall sections meeting at a circular fortified tower on a rocky knoll. A rock-cut neck ditch defends the southern approach.
