What is recorded here
Carew Castle, Cropmark Features is a promontory fort in Pembrokeshire, Wales, dating from the Roman and Early Medieval periods. The land holds a ridge where human hands may have shaped stone, timber or earth long before the castle gave the site its modern name. That much older framework still belongs beneath the familiar landscape, waiting for rain or light to reveal its outline.
