The Undercroft The most complete surviving part of Morlais Castle is the undercroft of the southeast keep, also known as the crypt. E. J. Hutchins of Merthyr Tydfil revealed the undercroft in 1846, when rubble was cleared from the base of the southeast tower. It is a circular room that is entered through a lancet headed doorway. Seven steps lead down to the doorway of the undercroft but there would probably have been 12 steps originally. A central pillar with 12 vaulted ribs supports the ceiling of the undercroft. Although many undercrofts were used for storage, no evidence has been found which can determine the use of the undercroft of Morlais Castle. Merthyr Tydfil Heritage Trust undertook extensive clearance and conservation work to the undercroft in 1987. Rubble and plant growth was removed to reveal the stonework around the doorway. The stonework above the doorway was re-pointed and extended upwards to accommodate a protective concrete capping. www.apxb46.dsl.pipex.com/Morlais Castle.pdf
