St Fagans Castle Wall

Wall

What is recorded here

St Fagans Castle Wall stands as a Post Medieval boundary in Cardiff, marking the edge of a estate that once controlled who entered and who left. Its stones may have guided servants, excluded strangers or simply divided land before modern laws redirected the area. The wall still separates memory from forgetfulness, preserving the shape of a residence that no longer dominates the landscape.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records St Fagans Castle Wall as Wall 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.
St Fagans Castle Wall is associated with the medieval St Fagans Castle, originally built in the 13th century by the de Clares, a prominent Norman family in South Wales. The wall remains significant as a historical feature linked to the castle, which later came under the control of the powerful Glamorgan family, the Morgans, and is remembered for its role in the region's medieval history and the 16th-century rebellion led by Owen Glyndŵr.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
