What is recorded here
Castle Point in Aberystwyth held an anchorage during the Ôl-ganoloesol period, when ships needed a place to drop rope and wait for tide or weather. The sea did not ask permission from men; it gave them a reason to build, obey and remember.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Anchorage, Castle Point, Aberystwyth as Anchorage from the Ôl-ganoloesol period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
