A fascinating programme and I look forward to the rest of the series. Lovely broadcasting voice by Huw Edwards. Do you know about Green Castle, LLANGAIN, nr. Carmarthen?
Thank you to Mr Williams for his comment. It is very good to know you enjoyed the first programme. The Royal Commission has some information about Green Castle on its online database, Coflien - see http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/17403/details/GREEN+CASTLE%2C+RUINS%3BCASTELL+MOEL/
More information is likely to be held in our archive. Do you think we have described the site correctly? Do you know more about it?
