Ogmore Castle
Ogmore Castle is a medieval stone castle ruin on the south bank of the Ewenny River and east bank of the River Ogmore in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. The site preserves a Norman oblong keep, fragments of curtain wall, and earthwork defences surrounding an inner ward and outer bailey; parts were adapted as a courthouse and other functions through the later Middle Ages and early modern period.

As it stood in 1454
The shape it held in its prime.
Ogmore Castle in its prime is a compact ringwork castle sited beside the confluence of two rivers, with an oblong masonry keep standing north of the main gateway and stone curtain walls closing the oval inner ward. Walls are built of irregular field stones, glacial pebbles and Lias limestone with brown mortar; windows are round‑headed with Sutton stone ashlar. The castle is surrounded by a deep rock‑cut ditch and faces low sandhills and tidal river flats.
