keep had a portcullis which would have been drawn up past the window on the second story of the tower. While the castle's flooring has long since disappeared, its interior staircase to the upper story may still be climbed. This second story would have formed the main chamber in the keep and had a large fireplace and a latrine. Originally the keep would have had a

is an additional building, probably built by the
English at the end of the 13th century. Although the hall is relatively large, 50 by 27 feet (15 by 8 m), these buildings follow a simpler design than those current in England at the time, where a combination of a hall, chamber, and a service block in castles was becoming more common.

The rectangular west tower was a relatively short defensive structure, designed to protect the more vulnerable western slope of the ridge.

Llywelyn the Great initially controlled the princedom of
Gwynedd, but grew more powerful throughout his reign, extending his influence over much of Wales during the early years of the 13th century. Llywelyn was faced with several challenges, including dealing with the threat from the kings of England

The interpretation of
Dolbadarn, like other Norman and Welsh castles, has shifted over time. Post-war historians such as R. Allen Brown focused on the military advantages of circular keeps, ascribing the design at Dolbadarn to the increased military competition in Wales during the period. Similarly,

The remaining parts of the castle continued to be used as a manor house into the 14th century. By the 18th century, however, Dolbadarn Castle was ruined and uninhabited. From the 1760s onwards, however, it became a popular topic for painters interested in the then fashionable landscape styles of the

The keep today is 46 feet (14 m) high and is modelled on early 13th-century
English round towers built in the south of the Welsh Marches. As with other Welsh-constructed towers, the entrance is on the first story, not at ground level; it may originally have been protected by a porch. The

Llywelyn claimed authority as the lord of the mountains and coasts of Wales: several of his castles appear to have been located with such political symbolism in mind. It is also

and other political changes, the history of
Dolbadarn Castle and similar Welsh castles has become increasingly prominent. In response, Cadw noted that they intend to give increased priority to communicating the history of these castles and the Welsh princes.

Cathcart King saw the keep as being "very well developed", noting that it "might pass for an
English addition". Richard Avent's later work on the social and political aspects of these princely castles has led to a more multi-faceted interpretation.
