It is also called Castell Ddu (Black Castle) it got its name from the time the local welsh people attacked and burnt it during its roman occupation.

Castell Du is known by local Welsh speakers as Banc y Rhyfel(the mound of the battle)and was built by the invading Normans circa 1106 to control an important river crossing into the commote of Gwyr(Gower)
