Merrick described Roath Dogfilde as 'an old Pyle, compassed with a Mote, which is called The Court: but now in ruyne'. Rather than a castle, the description denotes the medieval moated manor house of a demense of the chief lords. C18 house on site. (Spurgeon)
Late C18 or C19 structure, now a funeral home. Though no evidence survives Roath Court doubtless marks the site of the moat. (Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust HER)
On the site of a medieval manor house known as 'Roath Dogfield' mentioned by Rice Merrick in 1578. The present house is C18 in origin but with early C19 additions, probably by John Wood (1755-1817), a banker. (Listed Building Report)
An eighteenth-century mansion, on an ancient site, which was the manor-house of Roath-Dogfield. The older building, fortified and moated, was ruinous in the reign of Elizabeth. The Court stands a short distance south of Roath church, at the corner of Newport Road and Albany Road, in pleasant grounds. (Matthews)
