An information panel has been installed on site. Cardiff Castle and Roman Fort The scheduled area consists of a rectangular walled enclosure (late Roman), containing a Norman motte crowned by a well preserved keep. There is a Medieval entrance gate on the south, plus a range of Medieval buildings on the west, remodelled in the 19th century. Melingrifith Water Pump This ingenious pump was built in 1806.
