Living on the brink: Uncovering the stories of Pembrokeshire’s eroding promontory forts

Join us for the second talk in our new series of Royal Commission online lectures.


Living on the brink: Uncovering the stories of Pembrokeshire’s eroding promontory forts

by Daniel Hunt


Pembrokeshire is home to some of the finest late prehistoric coastal fort sites found anywhere across the British Isles. Although they are relatively plentiful, little is known about them, especially how they were built and the role they played in late prehistoric society. This short talk will discuss recent archaeological research, including several new surveys conducted by CHERISH Project, and will explore new ideas on how these sites were constructed and some possible influences behind their peripheral coastal location.

1 April, 2021, 5pm
