tribulation visited on 20th Jan 2019 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Cae Summerhouse is visible as earth banks in a field covered in grazed turf, which is private farmland. The footpath from Newton to Candleston runs behind the field, but dense, tangled plant and tree growth prevents any view from there. On the other side of the field is the rough track road which runs from Tythegston to Candleston Farm, there is space for parking, though I walked up from the dunes. One of the earth banks abuts the road at 51 29 23 N and 3 38 14 W, from which vantage, Cae Summerhouse can be seen to sit on the highest point of the land, commanding 360 degree views. Immediately on the opposite side of the road is an overgrown pond edged with stones. Along with the all round visibilty, this unexpected water source made me think it a good spot to choose for a defensible home.

Ancient Settlement in South Glamorgan

"Cae Summerhouse is a subrectangular enclosure, about 56m east-west by 50m, defined by traces of a bank & ditch, with a semi-concentric outer circuit, about 15-20m distant on the north, west & east.

Excavations, in 1966-7 & 1973, demonstrated that occupation opened in the Iron Age, continuing into the Romano-British period, with several possible granaries & corn-drying kilns."
