What is recorded here
Pound House stands in Castlemartin as a Post Medieval dwelling, old enough to predate modern memory but young enough to escape medieval mystery. It may have housed a keeper, a trader or a family who understood the local land well. The name suggests a connection to a pound, perhaps a pen for animals or a marker of boundary. Whether it guarded livestock or pride, the house still belongs to the living landscape of Pembrokeshire.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Pound House, Castlemartin as House 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.
