List of Scheduled Roman to modern Monuments in Pembrokeshire
is the fifth-largest county in Wales, but has more Ancient Monuments than any other local authority area except Powys. This gives it an extremely high density of monuments, with 33.4 per 100km2.. With three-quarters of its boundary being coastline, Pembrokeshire occupies the western end of the West Wales peninsular, terminating with the tiny cathedral city of St David's. It is a historic county in its own right but between 1975 and 1996 it joined with Carmarthenshire and Cardiganshire to form Dyfed.
Over two thirds of Pembrokeshire's Ancient Monuments date to pre-historic times. Even this is too many entries to conveniently show in one list, so the list is subdivided into three, with all the Roman to modern entries on this list, and subdividing the prehistoric sites along the lines of the former local districts of Preseli Pembrokeshire, and South Pembrokeshire. The two lists of prehistoric sites include hill forts, promontory forts on both coastal headlands and inland locations. They also include a variety of enclosures, hut sites and Raths, a wide range of burial sites and other ritual and religious sites listed as barrows and chambered tombs, stone circles and standing stones.
The county's 182 Roman, medieval and post-medieval sites include only 3 sites from Roman times, but from the Early Medieval period there are many inscribed stones, stone crosses, and holy wells. Also scheduled are many Medieval castles, mottes and baileys, priories, chapels and churches, houses, town walls and a Bishop's palace, along with a wide variety of post-medieval sites from coalmines, kilns and dovecotes through to 19th and 20th century coastal defenses.
Scheduled Ancient Monuments have statutory protection. The compilation of the list is undertaken by Cadw Welsh Historic Monuments, which is an executive agency of the National Assembly of Wales. The list of scheduled monuments below is supplied by Cadw with additional material from RCAHMW and Dyfed Archaeological Trust.
Scheduled Roman to modern Monuments in Pembrokeshire
The list is sorted by period, and then by Community so that sites of similar age and locality are placed near each other. Clicking on one of the heading arrows will sort the list by that information.Image | Name | Site type | Community | Location | Details | Period | SAM No & Refs |
Castle Flemish | Farmstead or villa | Ambleston | , SN007267 | A four-sided low bank encloses an area some 80m across. Excavated in 1922 by Mortimer Wheeler and now thought to have been a late first-century farmstead or villa. It is also known as Castell. Nineteenth century rumours of a 'golden table' being found here remain unsubstantiated. A public road, which is also the Ambelston/Puncheston boundary, runs through the middle. | Roman | PE058 | |
Roman Road 300m East of Bryn Farm | Roman Road | Llanddewi Velfrey | , SN155182 | Identified in the early 19th century, this 200 meter stretch of Roman road across boggy ground preserves good construction details and remains as a raised ager, 10 meters wide. Small test excavation in 1993 confirmed two phase construction. The line of the road has been traced a further 700m NE. Scheduled in 1996. | Roman | PE472 | |
Hut Groups on Gateholm Island | Hut settlement | Marloes and St Brides | , SM769072 | Tidal island with over 100 rectangular huts probably of Romano-British or early post-Roman date, possibly as a Christian monastic settlement. It was studied in 1910, 1930, 1971 and most recently in 2011 by a Timeteam investigation. None have established anything conclusive. | Roman | PE180 | |
