Clegyr Boia (also Clegyr Fwya) is a prehistoric site on the St David's peninsula in Pembrokeshire, Wales, rising 10-20 metres above the surrounding landscape [1]. Located 1.6 km west of St Davids and 1.21 km from the coast, the rocky outcrop shows evidence of both Neolithic and Iron Age occupation [1]. The site's nearest water source was Ffynnon Lygaid, a small spring-fed pool just 30 cm deep near the southern base of the outcrop [1]. Archaeological excavations were conducted here in 1902 by Sabine Baring-Gould and in 1943 by Audrey Williams for the Ancient Monuments Inspectorate [1].
