Parc Castell, Earthwork;Old Castle Plantation, Enclosure

Defended Enclosure

What is recorded here

Parc Castell is a medieval defended enclosure in Pembrokeshire, where an earthwork still marks the boundary of a place built to keep people out or hold them inside. The name suggests a castle park, yet no standing castle is listed, only the buried line of exclusion. Maybe a family lived within that circle while danger passed outside, or maybe the earthwork itself was the warning. Either way, the ground remembers the shape of fear and the hands that dug it.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Parc Castell, Earthwork;Old Castle Plantation, Enclosure as Defended Enclosure from the Medieval 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.
