What is recorded here

Laugharne Castle, Outer Gatehouse stands as a Medieval gatehouse in Sir Gaerfyrddin, Carmarthenshire, Wales. Its stone frame marks the boundary between the castle and the wider world, a threshold where permission and exclusion collided. People may have passed through it with fear, pride or hunger, their footsteps erased but its function unchanged.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Laugharne Castle, Outer Gatehouse as Gatehouse from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Laugharne Castle, including its outer gatehouse, was built by the De Harcourt family in the 13th century and later held by the Grey family. It is important as a well-preserved example of medieval military architecture and as part of the historical landscape associated with the Welsh borderlands.
