Castlemartin was a
hundred in
Pembrokeshire,
Wales. Initially created by the
Marcher Lords of
Pembroke in the 14th century from the western part of the pre-
Norman cantref of
Penfro, it was confirmed by the
Act of Union of 1536 . The hundred, with its capital at
Pembroke was early settled by English and Scandinavians, and was a centre of the
Norman/English "plantation" in the 12th century. Since then it has been entirely English-speaking , and part of
Little England beyond Wales.
