Weobley Castle is a medieval fortified settlement located in Gower, Glamorgan, Wales, dating primarily to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The site comprises the remains of a stone-built castle with associated defensive works, representing an important example of Anglo-Norman military architecture in South Wales during the period of English consolidation in the region. The castle was constructed to command the local landscape and served strategic purposes within the broader context of Norman settlement and control of Gower. Its remains, now designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw, reflect the defensive priorities and stone construction techniques characteristic of high medieval Welsh border fortifications.
