The Tower is a medieval defensive structure located in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference PE068. The tower dates to the medieval period and represents the type of fortified architecture that characterised the region during the Norman and later medieval occupation of southwest Wales. Its physical form reflects the defensive requirements of the period, serving as both a military structure and a symbol of authority within the local landscape. Like many towers in Pembrokeshire, it would have functioned as part of the broader network of fortifications established to control territory and maintain security in this strategically important part of Wales.
