What is recorded here

Old Quarry sits inside Powis Castle Park, a Post Medieval cutting where stone may have been taken for castle work or local building. The rocks still show the shape of that removal, even if the men and tools are gone. It is not a decorative feature but a wound in the hillside, made useful by human hands.

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 for extracting stone, probably to support construction or maintenance within the broader Powis Castle estate. It is remembered as part of the historical landscape and industrial activity associated with the powerful Powys Castle, held by the Herbert family from the 17th century onwards.
