From Morgannwg History Society Journal.

The remains of this Norman fortification  is situated at the highest point in the Lordship of Gower and is also the highest castle in Glamorgan. The castle has  been robbed of masonry but the surrounding ditch has survived well. The construction of the castle during the late thirteenth century seem to be connected to a period  of particular unrest which resulted in the Welsh regaining part of the lordship; the lost territory became known as ‘Stryveland’. Today it is  known as  Mynydd Betws..

Fought The Anglo - Norman Robber Barons now in our times another struggle for these Welsh Mountains are to be fought, this time against Anglo - Norman Renewables Robber Barons - Windmill Masters. If Welsh Patriots are to resist a Robber Barons conquest as hard as their ancestors did then this area of Northen Gower will again become known as 'Stryveland/Strifeland' as a long and bitter struggle be engaged in, to not only defend this land from reconquest  by the new 'Conquistadores but to Liberate Land form an Absentee English Lord.

There is also still unfinished business and that is to liberate Mynydd y Gwair from an Absentee English Land Lord - The Duke of Somerset. Patriots are you willing and will you be ready to take up a struggle on two fronts, one on Mynydd y Betws and the other on Mynydd y Gwair. Patriots of Eginog, it is for you now to take up leadership of this struggle. Are you fit for the fight of a long and hard radical campaign unto a Welsh Victory or are you but good for only commemoration of battles long ago. Patriots Prepare to March into these Mountains and I suggest occupy them in 2012 and sustain this occupation in a struggle to reconquor the land of Mynydd y Gwair taken from us by an Absentee English Aristocracy at time of the Act of Annexation and in our own time the Common Land of Mynydd y Betws enclosed by a treacherous Carmarthen Council to enable it being taken by the new 'Conquistadores'. Patriots if you are not prepared to take up this challenge of liberating and defending but a small parcel of land how the hell can you shoot your mouths off about Liberating and defending Cymru/Wales. stop talking nonsense and wake up, get of your back sides and walk with heads held high towards a great fitting fight of it - for our land. Let our cry and call to action be as the People of the Pitchfork both men and women 'Trech Gwlad Nag Arglwydd' For Land and Liberty:
