Castle Flemish; Castle Fleming (Ad Vigessimum)

Villa

What is recorded here

Castle Flemish is a Roman villa in Pembrokeshire where a low bank still encloses an eighty-metre square of forgotten domestic life. Mortimer Wheeler excavated brick, flue tiles and ceramics there in 1922, revealing a bathhouse and living area from the late first century rather than a military fort. The name may preserve a Flemish settlement, while Ad Vigessimum remains a spurious attachment. A public road now cuts through the middle, dividing the household from itself.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castle Flemish; Castle Fleming (Ad Vigessimum) as Villa from the Roman period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
