What is recorded here
Oldcastle, Earthworks is a defended enclosure in Monmouthshire, Wales. Its age remains unknown, but the earthworks still mark a boundary drawn in human fear or pride. The site may have sheltered families, guarded a road, or simply excluded others from a narrow strip of land. Whatever it was, the ground remembers the shape of the choice.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Oldcastle, Earthworks as Defended Enclosure from the Unknown period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
