What is recorded here
Mud, grass and buried rope still mark the trench near Castlemartin, though the war that shaped it has left the local memory. It belongs to the Post Medieval period, when people dug against landing threats rather than waiting for them. The earth keeps that much of the argument: fear can be sharp enough to cut a coast into shapes.
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.
