Bosherston Fort
This fort is situated on a triangular headland between
two valleys which now contain Bosherston’s famous lily ponds. A double
bank and ditch defended the headland, while a smaller bank within the
fort may have divided off an area in which livestock could be kept.
It is owned and managed by The National Trust,
and they have carried
out a programme of clearance work to make access to the fort easier,
and it is possible to trace the position of several round timber
houses on the headland.
It is within the
Pembrokeshire Coast National
Park. Also See Nearby
