Castle Farm Enclosures

Pit Defined Enclosure; Circular Enclosure

What is recorded here

Castle Farm Enclosures are a prehistoric pit-defined circular enclosure near Newport, Wales. The boundary is a ring of small pits rather than a wall, suggesting people marked sacred or owned ground by cutting into the earth. They may have stood there to watch seasons, keep livestock, or perform rituals now forgotten. The pits still exist because soil and time preserved a shape that no longer needs explanation.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castle Farm Enclosures as Pit Defined Enclosure; Circular Enclosure from the Prehistoric period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
