Kenfig Castle is a ruined castle in
Bridgend County Borough in
Wales that came to prominence after the Anglo-Norman invasion of
Wales in the late eleventh century. An early reference to a castle at
Kenfig can be found in 1080, when
Iestyn ap Gwrgan was said to have refortified it, but probably this was a different structure to that raised alongside the town that developed there in the mid-twelfth century.
