The Llanquian castle is a castellated mansion located in the village of Llanblethian, Cowbridge, Wales. The 12th century ruins lay surrounded by woods off Lanquian Road, hence the fort's name.
In the late 11th/early 12th century, Robert Fitzhamon conquered Wales for the Normans. Among the men who initially marched into the Vale of Glamorgan with him was Robert de Wintona . Fitzhamon later granted twelve people lands to establish lordships over, and Robert was one of them. Settling himself near modern-day Cowbridge, Robert established a manor on land then-called Languian, which he became lord over along with Llandow. His castle was built in a valley later named for one family of his descendants, the Wilkins .
