Pilleth is the location of Owain Glyndwr's greatest battle in 1402. He took on and beat Edmund Mortimer (from Wigmore Castle in Herefordshire) representing King Henry IV. The battle was a hard fought engagement during which a reported 800 men where slain. Many of the Mortimer's archers (Radnorshire and west Herefordshire conscripts) changed sides early on in the conflict. The Welsh having the upper ground then set about totally destroying the remnants of the English army. The dead appear to have been buried at two sites, within the churchyard of St. Mary's and on Bryn Glas hill at a place now marked with four redwood trees.
