Cricket Ground; Earthwork; Earthwork

What is recorded here

Hean Castle in Pembrokeshire, Wales is an earthwork that once held a cricket pitch during the Post Medieval period. The ground still carries the shape of that game, a local mark of leisure written in soil rather than stone. People may have swung bats across it while others watched from the ridge, turning an ordinary field into a stage for rivalry and joy. The castle name suggests pride, as if the community built a small fortress of fun instead of defense.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Hean Castle, Earthwork of Former Cricket Pitch as Cricket Ground; Earthwork; Earthwork 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.
