What is recorded here

Castle Terrace 1-3;The Old Gaol, Montgomery stands as Post Medieval terraced housing in Powys, Wales. The Old Gaol name hints that these rooms once held people rather than families, though no surviving detail confirms whether they locked thieves, debtors or soldiers. If so, the terrace carried two lives at once: imprisonment and everyday residence. That dual use belongs in any honest account of the place.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castle Terrace 1-3;The Old Gaol, Montgomery as Terraced Housing 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.

Built in the post-medieval period, likely as part of Montgomery's development as a military and administrative center, the Old Gaol and Castle Terrace are remembered for their historical association with local governance and penal history in the area.
