What is recorded here
Anti Landing Trench at Castlemartin marks a Post Medieval defence line where human hands cut the earth to stop an invading force. The trench may have bled rain or held fear, but its purpose remained binary: keep boots out of the soil. That simple violence still shapes the local landscape, reminding passersby that freedom required digging.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Anti Landing Trench, Castlemartin as Anti Landing Trench 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.
