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.

Many thanks to Kevin Woodroffe, who first drew my attention to this anomaly.
