The present-day farmhouse located on Kennexstone Camping and Caravan Park was built in 1939. The original farmhouse, however, dated from 1610 and is now on display at St. Fagan's Museum of Welsh Life.
Gower's earliest castles were constructs of earth and timber, built upon the steepest aspects of hills and coastal promontories. There, the natural geogaphy of the land often provided as much of a defence to villages as the fortifications themselves. Most remains of Gower's Iron Age Hillforts date from around the 6th Century A.D. and evidence of their quite large scale can still be easily traced in the numerous mounds and ditches on many of the peninsula's larger hilltops.
