With its tactical position on the much west coastline of Britain, as well as a natural protected harbour from both the Atlantic Ocean and also the Irish Sea, Tenby was a natural settlement point, probably a hillside ft with the mercantile nature of the settlement perhaps creating under Hiberno-Norse influence. The earliest reference to a settlement at Tenby is in "Etmic Dinbych", a poem possibly from the 9th century, protected in the 14th century Book of Taliesin.
