Description
"The Ordnance Survey maps indicate the site of an earthwork marked 'Castell' [nprn 304369] on Mynydd Morvil, just above the pass known as Bwlch wyniad . . . local tradition speaks of a battle having been fought here. The site is probably the scene of the sharp skirmish between Martin de Turribus and the Welsh which took place at or near Morvil a few days after the landing of Martin at Abergwaun or Fishguard, when the natives were repulsed and pursued by the Normans across the Prescelly hills. - Visited, 20th October, 1914."
