What is recorded here

St Fagans Castle, Lead Cistern dates from the Medieval period and stands as a recorded cistern in Cardiff, Wales. Lead resisted decay when stone crumbled, so the craft remained visible long after hands forgot the shape. The castle rose around water rather than display, suggesting survival before pride.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records St Fagans Castle, Lead Cistern as Cistern 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.
