Unidentified castle mentioned in 1202. Remfry writes (pers corr) 'Castle in Gwerthrynion is probably Rhayadr on east bank of Wye as opposed to Rhayadr-Gwy on west bank. Might be the 'ringwork' at Cwm y Saesson above St Harmons. Point needs emphasising that there were 2 castles at Rhayadr, Mortimer on east bank with deep ditch, c.1200 and Rhys ap Gruffydd on Welsh bank with motte, c.1170's.' Would have been a timber castle as recorded as burnt to ground.
