Newport Castle is a late medieval fortress located in Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales. The castle was constructed in the fifteenth century, likely in the latter half of the period, as part of the defensive architecture of the region during a time of significant political instability in Wales. The structure is characterized by its substantial stone walls and defensive design typical of late medieval Welsh fortifications. Today the castle remains a significant example of fifteenth-century military architecture, demonstrating the building practices and strategic concerns of the period in South Wales.
