What is recorded here

Greywacke strata at Aberystwyth Castle date to the Prehistoric period, meaning the rock existed long before human hands shaped the land. The castle sits atop ancient pressure-formed stone, layers compressed by forces no longer visible. Human history began later on that same foundation, building walls and rooms above rock that had already endured millennia of change.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Greywacke, Rock Strata, Aberystwyth Castle as Natural Feature; Natural Feature 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.
