The walls and towers of this third century Roman Fort are still standing and in use surrounding St. Cybi's medieval church. The walls (with distinctive herringbone stonework) are extremely well-preserved, standing up to 13ft/4m high and 5ft/1.5m thick. You can also see remains of four corner towers. Occupying a vantage point above the harbour, the 26ft north-east tower is the most prominent, though the top section is a later rebuild possibly dating to the medieval period.
