Castle is a small Norman earthwork motte and bailey fortress, founded by Hugh
de Lacy, lord of Ewyas. The raised crescent shaped bailey, is defended by a ditch,
with a counterscarp bank but sadly the oval motte with its encasing wet ditch,
has been damaged by farm buildings. 2 miles north is Skenfrith
Castle and 4 miles west is White Castle.
Newcastle Castle is located in the village centre, off the B4347. 5 miles north-west of Monmouth, on the B4233-B4347.
The site is is visible from the road.
Car parking is by the side of the road.
