What is recorded here
Outer Gateway, Powis Castle stands as a Post Medieval gateway in Powys, Wales. It is the kind of threshold where human life still moves, even if the path is not obvious. The stones may have guided visitors, carts or ceremonies toward Powis Castle, and that repeated use is what made the place worthy of notice.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Outer Gateway, Powis Castle as Gateway 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.
Built in the 16th or 17th century as part of the medieval defences of Powis Castle, the Outer Gateway is an important surviving element of the castle's historic approach and fortification system. It reflects the strategic and architectural development of the site during the Post Medieval period.
