Castles in Dyfed
(Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, and Carmarthenshire)
Wizo the Fleming, from whom Wiston takes its name, took control of the lordship of Daugleddau around 1100. In 1130 he built the motte across the pre-existing Iron Age earthwork. The earthwork enclosure was then used as the boundary defence for a medieval borough. The native Welsh attacked Wiston Castle in 1147, and again in 1193.
