Neolithic

The area around Nevern has been occupied since at least 4,000 years ago. Evidence includes barrows revealed in an aerial survey during the 2018 heatwave.

Norman rule

Martin de Turribus was the Marcher Lord of Kemes, with his caput at Nevern, where he took over an existing fortification. The ruler of Deheubarth, Rhys ap Tewdwr, died in battle and his lands were forfeited to the Normans.

Norman castle

Nevern Castle was the only Norman castle to successfully resist forces of Rhys ap Gruffydd’s sons. It was probably a square building with a bastion at each corner, and may have been one of the earliest stone castles built in Wales.

Land ownership

Nevern was one of nine Pembrokeshire “boroughs in decay” in 1603. In 1603, the antiquarian George Owen, Lord of Cemais, described Nevern as a ‘borough in decay’ Nevern may have once been under the rule of Cuhelyn the Bard.
