What is recorded here

Coastguard Station, Penrhyn Castle stands in Pembrokeshire as a Post Medieval watchpoint where human eyes replaced divine ones. Men may have sat in that small structure, scanning the black water for smugglers or drowning ships, their breath fogging the glass while the castle loomed behind them. The station turned a private estate into a public danger zone, forcing local men to serve the crown instead of enjoying the coast.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Coastguard Station, Penrhyn Castle as Coastguard Station 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.
