 Archaeology in Wales - Archaeoleg CAMBRIA Archaeology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In 1996, during the preliminary stages of a conservation programme at Narberth Castle, two graves were noticed exposed at the top of a steep slope overlooking neighbouring gardens.
As it was planned to erect a large fence along the crest of the slope as part of the conservation programme, small-scale excavations were undertaken in 2001 in order to examine the two burials and to ascertain if they were part of a larger cemetery.
It is possible that the cemetery indicates the former location of Narberth parish church prior to its establishment on its current site 180m to the west, perhaps in the mid 13th century when the castle was rebuilt in stone.

 Narberth Castle
I fell in love with Narberth upon first sight and have only been able to conclude that my love is more of a sympathy for a structure that once stood so tall and proud and has been reduced to only a fragment of its former self.
While Narberth's position could have occasioned a threat from the Welsh at more than one stage of the uprising, it would appear that it remained throughout a bastion of English influence in the area.
However important that link had been in the lives of some east Pembrokeshire retainers, though, throughout that period their patch was merely part of a larger fabric.

A four-week archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Pembrokeshire County Council, during July-August 2003, in the entrance area of Narberth Castle, within the area of the medieval castle Outer Ward.
At least 3 east-west aligned, extended human burials were revealed, two of them superimposed, with the potential for at least one more in the form of a soilmark with similar dimensions and alignment.
It is tentatively suggested that the cemetery indicates the former location of a church prior to its establishment on its current site 180m to the west, perhaps in the mid 13th century when the castle Inner Ward was rebuilt in stone and the Outer Ward was presumably formally established.
