As part of Cadw’s 2007 initiative to assess under-represented monument types, Dyfed Archaeological Trust evaluated prehistoric settlement and agricultural remains in Pembrokeshire. Much of the work focused on Mynydd Preseli, where previously unrecorded data from Pete Drewett’s 1984 survey was recovered and incorporated into the Historic Environment Record. In 2011, 28 sites at Parc Mawr and Banc Llwydlos, along with seven additional sites at Mynydd Dinas, were visited and assessed. Several were identified as of schedulable quality, with recommendations made to Cadw. The project highlights the survival of exceptional prehistoric remains in the uplands of Pembrokeshire and has significantly enhanced the regional record
