Taken from the remains of the tower at Nevern Castle.
Nevern is an important rare survival showing the evolution of an earth and timber castle into one of stone and if carried out by Lord Rhys, represents one of the earliest Welsh stone castles.
Excavation has revealed evidence of the early 12th century earth and timber castle that was substantially rebuilt in stone during the mid to later 12th century. The main defences throughout the castles history comprised an earth inner rampart topped with at least three phases of wooden palisade, with the later development of stone towers and an additional thin stone wall along the outer north rampart.
