Bryneglwys Castle

Also known as, or recorded in historical documents as; Castell Furi; Fury

In the community of Bryneglwys.
In the historic county of Denbighshire (Modern authority of Denbighshire, preserved county of Clwyd).

Vanished castle mentioned 1331 as ' a site for a fortification'. Map ref given is the possible site suggested in the RCAHMW Inventory record which reads "A small unoccupied farmhouse standing on high ground, and looking northwards over a wide stretch of country. There is no signs of fortifications or defences in the immediate neighbourhood. It is known locally as 'Castell Furi,' or 'Fury,' a name for which no better explanation than the Roman 'Furius' has been suggested'. Since this is a late castle site, apparently a purely military concern, the suggested site is not improbable. The CPAT record suggests this as a Iron Age Hill fort site; I do not know if this is based on anything other than the site name.

This site has been described as a;
Uncertain.
The confidence that this site is a medieval fortification or palace is Possible.
Nothing visible remains.
