What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Abercastle as Village from the General period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Abercastle was a medieval coastal stronghold, likely built by the Lords of Gower in the 13th or 14th century. It is remembered for its strategic position overlooking the Cleddau Estuary and its role in controlling trade and military movements in west Wales.
