What is recorded here
Mill Leat is a water channel beside the western edge of Cardiff Castle, recorded from the Medieval and Post Medieval periods. It likely directed river water to a mill, meaning the castle and the mill shared the same living current. The leat is not a decorative feature; it is the hidden muscle that made the local economy work.
