What was life like here before the Norman invasion?

Join us for a tour of a land without towns, where there was a royal court (llys) at Bayvil, and people lived in small hamlets, moved with their livestock between summer and winter pastures, and gathered at outdoor assembly sites to trade, pay tribute and decide communal matters.
Using recent archaeological evidence, written records and place-names, landscape archaeologist Rhiannon Comeau will look at life in north Pembrokeshire in the so-called ‘Dark Ages’.
Rhiannon is the author of a number of publications about early medieval north Pembrokeshire and co-editor of the 2023 Research Framework for the Archaeology of Early Medieval Wales.
