St Fagans Castle Wall

Wall

What is recorded here

St Fagans Castle Wall stands in Cardiff as a Post Medieval boundary, its stones marking the edge of a estate rather than a battlefield. It may have guided carts, kept livestock, or simply declared that land belonged somewhere. The wall does not need a heroic origin; it needs a visible line in the earth.
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 Spensers, a prominent Norman family in South Wales. The wall remains significant as a historical feature linked to the castle, which later came under the ownership of the Vaughan family and is remembered for its role in Welsh history and its connection to the nearby St Fagans National Museum of History.

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