What is recorded here

Pembroke Castle is a ruined medieval fortress on a rocky promontory in Pembrokeshire, Wales, where William Marshal rebuilt the Norman site into a massive stone keep during the 12th century. The castle stands at the edge of the Milford Haven Waterway, using the sea itself as a moat around its thick walls and round towers. Its great keep rises seventy-five feet with walls two metres thick, still showing the putlog holes where wooden platforms once extended the defences. The site connects to human occupation stretching back through the Roman period and into the end of the last ice age, making the castle the newest layer on a very old place.

Pembroke Castle is shown as a ruins on the public map of Pembrokeshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
