Trostrey is a hamlet and ancient parish in Monmouthshire west of Gwehelog and east of Kemeys Commander. It forms part of the Usk Hundred.
History
Excavations in 2000 found evidence of burial cairns from the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.[1] An 11th-century earthen motte-and-bailey castle was replaced in the 13th century by a small stone fort.[2] A manor house, Trostrey Court stands ½ mile east of the village.[2] The parish church is dedicated to St David.[2]
