What is recorded here

Castle Pill still keeps a quay and warehouse beneath its modern streets. Whether the cellars stored fish, tar or stolen sugar remains unknown, but the name suggests depth and darkness rather than display. The sea may have filled them once, or men may have locked them against thieves. Either way, the town stands above a hollow chest that never stopped breathing.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records The Cellars, Castle Pill as Quay; Warehouse. 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.
