Porth y Rhaw, near Solva, is a heavily defended coastal promontory fort now threatened by cliff erosion. Excavations uncovered the remains of at least eight roundhouses, with evidence of rebuilding and long occupation from the Early Iron Age through to the Roman period. Finds of pottery, along with evidence for both bronze and iron working, highlight the site’s significance as a centre of settlement and craft activity on the Pembrokeshire coast.
