Castell Pistog

Castell Pistog is a well defined ditched motte sitting above the headwaters of a minor tributary of the River Teifi. To the east, LIDAR shows a small platform that is the remains of the bailey. It is overlooked by higher ground to he south and east, and as such is not a serious military obstacle. However it is sited reasonably centrally within an area defined by larger tributaries of the river – the Hoffnant and the Nant Bachnog and may therefore have been intended as the seat of a compact lordship, associated with the church of Bangor Teifi to the west. It is surrounded by farmland and permission should be gained for access, although which farm to approach is unclear.
