What is recorded here

Oystermouth Castle, Earthwork Feature E of remains an unnamed ridge of packed earth beside Swansea, refusing the temptation to force a date onto forgotten hands. The castle later seized the coast, but this particular feature predates every marble chamber and every proud banner. Perhaps it marked a boundary, a treasury, or a warning to ships that the land itself could swallow what the sea refused to take.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Oystermouth Castle, Earthwork Feature E of as Earthwork; Earthwork 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.
