What is recorded here

Margam Castle, Terrace Walls and Screen, Margam is a Post Medieval wall in Neath Port Talbot, Wales. The terrace and screen still mark the castle estate, giving the land a shaped edge instead of a forgotten one. People may have walked that terrace to watch the valley or keep the grounds tidy. The wall remains as a visible line between the castle and the ordinary town.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Margam Castle, Terrace Walls and Screen, Margam as Wall 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.
Margam Castle was built in the early 13th century by the de Clare family, later held by the Bishops of Llandaff and the Margam Abbey, and is remembered for its historical association with the Cistercian abbey and its role in the Welsh wool trade. The terrace walls and screen reflect later landscaping associated with the 18th-century Margam Park estate.
