Along with Pembroke Civic Trust, on Saturday 19th a visit was arranged to view the St Bride’s Haven archaeological excavation. Mike Ings of Dyfed Archaeology met the group for a tour of the site where once stood a chapel long gone, swept away by the sea. Burials can still be seen eroding from the low cliffs and Mike stressed the importance of recording the surviving remains before they too are worn away. He also took us on a walk along the Coast Path to Nabs Head (where many flint tools have been discovered) and to Tower Point where there is an extremely well preserved promontory fort dating back to 700 BC. Not only was this a very interesting visit, but the lovely sunny day and beautiful setting combined to make it one to remember! Many of the group expressed a wish to revisit the dig at a later date to view its progress.
