Gun Emplacement, Walwyn's Castle

Gun Emplacement

What is recorded here

Walwyn's Castle in Pembrokeshire, Wales, still carries a Post Medieval gun emplacement, a concrete claw gripping the coast. That is a gun platform, not a decorative scar. Build a platform for a gun and the coast becomes a weapon chamber. Whether the chamber fired or merely waited, the concrete still points outward, waiting for the last shot nobody recorded.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Gun Emplacement, Walwyn's Castle as Gun Emplacement 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.

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