Abstract

During 2008 and 2009, Dyfed Archaeological Trust undertook excavations around the ruins of a small medieval chapel at Portclew, Freshwater East, Pembrokeshire. An extensive burial ground with its origin in the early medieval period was revealed, along with a series of early medieval enclosures, and three later medieval domestic buildings. Ceramic and environmental evidence recovered during the excavations suggests an origin for the site as a multifunctional cemetery, where non-funerary activity took place in addition to burial, which became the location for a later medieval chapel and adjacent settlement.
