Moulton Castle

In the community of Llancarfan. In the historic county of Glamorgan (Modern authority of Vale of Glamorgan, preserved county of South Glamorgan).

No remains of a castle reported by several early antiquarians. In CARN this is recorded as a medieval manor house. Spurgeon rejects this as a castle site and suggests the castle name may be explained by a nearby roman villa which may have once displayed substantial upstanding walls.
This site has been described as a;
Masonry Castle
Fortified Manor House
.
The confidence that this site is a medieval fortification or palace is Questionable. Nothing visible remains.
