Note 396 — MANORBEER CASTLE, Pembrokeshire.

The rivulet here mentioned is that which supplied the ancient ponds, and is shown on the right of the engraved picture. On the left is seen the church with its tall embattled tower—much resembling an Italian campanile—of Norman workmanship, and a style peculiar to this county. On the foreground is the dilapidated framework of an ancient cottage, with a chimney common to the country. This relic is supposed to belong to an era not less remote than that of the castle. To the right of the engraving, the promontory of St. Gowan’s Head is seen closing the distant horizon; and directly in front, the sea view presents an unlimited expanse of waters.
