What is recorded here
Old Gravel Pit, Powis Castle P is a Post Medieval gravel pit in Powys, Wales. It is the kind of place where men dug until their arms ached, filling carts with grey stone while birds circled above the fresh hole. The pit may have supplied roads, walls or castle work, though no name survives to claim the labour.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Old Gravel Pit, Powis Castle P as Gravel Pit 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.
