Caerphilly Castle Entrance photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow The outer defences were completed by making a 1.2h
artificial island to the west of the castle, known as the hornwork. Its formidable stone and water 'concentric' defences provided protection from the Welsh and in particular against the threat of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn - the Prince of Wales.
