St Clears Town Defences

In the community of St Clears.
In the historic county of Carmarthenshire (Modern authority of Carmarthenshire, preserved county of Dyfed).

No remains of earthwork town defences. The Dyfed Archaeological Trust excavated, in 1990, the last remaining bit of the outer face of the bank, all the rest had been terraced away for housing. No evidence of palisade, but very definitely a substantial clay bank. The ground beneath the bank was marked with cattle hoof prints. (My thanks to David Maynard for this information.)

This site has been described as a;
Urban Defence.
The confidence that this site is a medieval fortification or palace is Possible.
Nothing visible remains.
