Pier, Exxon refinery The refinery has closed and been dismantled, only two Milford Haven refineries remain. There is a lot of activity on the pier, possibly demolition work. If so, this square could soon be "all at sea" again.

Ancient Tower, Angle This ancient tower is next to Castle Farm on a track to the rear of the village of Angle. It is a few years now since I visited it. It is (or at least was) open to the public and I was able to look around inside including climbing stairs to an upper floor and there are some informative plaques. Despite this I have been able to find nothing about it on the web.
The tower is just north of the gridline and the photo was taken from practically astride it by my estimation.
