What is recorded here
Castle Bank, Potato Clamp III stands in Powys as a Post Medieval potato clamp, recorded in the national monument register. The earth may still hold the shape of a pit where hot stones cooked potatoes for people whose names never survived. Such clamps turned raw tubers into sustenance without fuel or firewood, offering a clever answer to hunger in a poor land.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castle Bank, Potato Clamp III as Potato Clamp from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
