Tavernspite
The Suspected Roman Fortlet at Tavernspite
The Tavernspite Roman fortlet situated near the Pembrokeshire-Carmarthenshire border would appear to be a spurious entry in the fourth edition of the Ordnance Survey Map and Guide – Roman Britain. The fortlet does not appear iconised on the map itself but is listed in the index, along with a grid reference. The site does not appear on the 3rd or 5th editions of this map at all. I have also looked on the Welsh National Sites and Monuments Record to confirm that there is no known Roman site in the area.
