What is recorded here

Trecastle Dam, Trecastle Fishpond and Trecastle Pond Bay belong to the Post Medieval period in Powys, Wales. The name suggests a castle, a dam and a fishpond, but the facts only confirm the waterworks and its bay. A dam needs a valley, a valley needs a town, and a town needs people stubborn enough to keep it alive.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Trecastle Dam;Trecastle Fishpond;Trecastle Pond Bay as Dam 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.

Trecastle Dam and associated fishponds were constructed in the Post Medieval period, likely by a local landowner or estate for fish farming and water management. The site is important as an example of medieval and post-medieval aquatic resource management in Wales.
