Amroth Castle the seat of Captain Arkland is situated on the beach between two well wooded vallies, which are overlooked in a general surrey of the county. The building is of great but uncertain antiquity. A few features of a military character are discernible among the modern additions. The extent of sandy beach from this place to the mouth of the Tave on which Laugharne is situated, is interupted only by Ragwain point which does not project far enough to prevent the communication at low water.

An account of Tenby by John E. Pritchard 1820

Amroath Castle, originally either the residence of Cadwgan ab Bleddyn, Prince of Powys, or the site of his palace, and subsequently the seat of the family of Elliot, at which period it was called Eare Weare, has been modernised into a marine castellated mansion. It was at this place, according to some writers, that Cadwgan ab Bleddyn gave a sumptuous banquet to the neighbouring chiefs, among whom was Gerald de Windsor, lord of Carew, with his wife Nêst, whom the son of Cadwgan afterwards carried off by force from Carew Castle, as is noticed in the account of that place.
