Stacks, cliffs & cauldrons: Recent fieldwork at the coastal promontory forts Video by Andy B on Wednesday, 18 November 2020

Stacks, cliffs & cauldrons: Recent fieldwork at the remarkable coastal promontory forts of the Castlemartin Training Area, Pembrokeshire by Dr Toby Driver, Louise Barker and Dan Hunt, Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW) (in English).

During August 2020 the CHERISH Project team from the RCAHMW spent a week surveying and recording the remarkable later prehistoric coastal promontory forts of the Castlemartin Training Area in South Pembrokeshire. CHERISH is a 6-year EU-funded project in the 2014-2020 Ireland-Wales programme studying climate change and coastal heritage. The new fieldwork enabled the team to make centimetre-accurate 3D records of these large eroding promontory forts for future monitoring. From the better-visited sites like Flimston Bay, to the lesser-known forts of Buckspool/The Castle and Crocksydam, the spectacular Linney Head fort in the restricted live firing area and even a newly-recorded promontory fort, the talk includes some spectacular drone footage which will take you to the hidden parts of these dramatic coastal sites.
