Hill Mountain (or Herson/Hearson Mountain) is a village in the community and parish (Church in Wales) of Burton, south Pembrokeshire, Wales.
Description
The village is a scattered settlement of largely modern properties strung out along several minor roads in the triangle between Sardis, Llangwm and Houghton. Most of the land around the village is enclosed farmland.[1] The village has a cricket field and pavilion (listed as Houghton) where Burton Cricket Club play.[2]
History
While Hill Mountain existed as a settlement in the 19th century, there were fewer than ten properties. A pub, The Star, is marked on an early 20th century map[3] but no longer exists.
Hearson Camp
To the south of Hill Mountain Hearson Camp was established in 1914 for 1st Battalion, the Welsh Regiment’s training.[4] The area was later returned to farmland. A scoping study of the site was carried out in 2014 by Dyfed Archaeological Trust to determine whether there was a case for archaeological study of this and other wartime sites in the county. The paper includes a contemporary War Office map of the village and sketch of the camp.[3]
Worship
Hill Mountain is in the parish (Church in Wales) of Burton.[5]
The chapel in the village is Wesleyan Methodist, established in 1815.[6]
