History
Excavations at the castle in 2000 found evidence of burial cairns from the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.[1] An 11th-century earthen motte-and-bailey castle was replaced in the 13th century by a small stone fort.[2] A manor house, Trostrey Court stands 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) east of the village.[2] The Church of St David is dedicated to St David.[2]
