Cadw's description
Location
On the S side of the town extending some 45m W of steps ascending from the E most end of The Parade.
History
Stone S end walls of former gardens, the side walls demolished for car park. The S town walls were probably much damaged in the siege of 1648. Many of the rear garden walls to properties on N and S sides of Main Street are thought either in some instances to incorporate the foundations of the mediaeval town walls or to be built in several places on their course.
Exterior
Retaining walls to rear of car-parks. A high wall of stone rubble wall runs westward from behind No. 35 Main Street, on a retaining wall, masonry obscured by plant growth. To W of a doorway with brick head to rear of No. 29 Main Street, the wall becomes progressively lower until, to the rear of No. 27 Main Street, it disappears above ground level.
Reason for designation
Included for their special historic interest as part of the conception of Pembroke as a walled town.
