Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for GOGARTH

GOGARTH, a ruin on the SE side of Great Ormes Head in Carnarvon; 4½ miles NNW of Conway. The building appears to have been large, partly mediæval, partly earlier; and is thought by some to have been a monastic cell to Conway abbey, -by others, to have been a palace of the bishops of Bangor.
