What is recorded here

Old Quarry in Powis Castle Park, Powys, is a Post Medieval extraction scar where stone left the hill for human use. The ground still holds the shape of that removal, a wound made useful rather than decorative. Men may have pulled weight there in darkness or heat, their names lost but their effort buried in the slope. The quarry does not need a hero to be true; it needs only the fact that stone left the hill and someone carried it home.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Old Quarry, Powis Castle Park as Quarry 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.

Old Quarry in Powis Castle Park was likely used during the Post Medieval period, primarily for extracting stone to support construction or maintenance activities in the castle estate.
