Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Archaeologia Cambrensis, 1864, Vol. 10: The Journal of the Cambrian Archaeological Association Although the whole of Wales abounds in the remains of ancient earthworks, it does not appear that they occur so numerously in any portion of the Principality as they do in Pembrokeshire. Even so far back as the time of Leland they seem to have excited the observation of that learned and laborious antiquary, and to have been referred to in his Itinerary as "hills and dikes, with bulwarks of yerth, as campes of men of warre or closures for cattle." In the situations where those earthworks generally occur, the land has been so little under cultivation that they have been subjected to a very small amount of alteration beyond that which the influences of time alone must necessarily have caused; and they consequently still continue, in many cases, in a state of considerable preservation. They are probably so little altered and affected by the ravages of time, since the period when Leland observed them, as still to afford an accurate idea of their original form and construction. They are usually found situated upon small and precipitous promontories extending into the sea, at various parts of this bold and rugged coast, and frequently occupying highly picturesque and imposing positions.
