What is recorded here

Castlemartin Village Pound is a Post Medieval pound in Pembrokeshire, Wales, where stray animals once stood trapped until owners claimed them. It may have been a tight local trap, a place of noise, breath and waiting rather than display. The name still points to a time when village life ran on recovery, recognition and the return of what wandered off.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castlemartin Village Pound as Pound 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.

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