Mass grave on Gower...

Caesar was a merchant vessel which had been requisitioned for naval service. It was on a mission to press gang men into service – a legal way to force men to serve in the Army or Navy, also called Impressment. In November 1760, with a large complement of press ganged men imprisoned below decks, the Caesar left Mumbles and ran into trouble with bad weather. The sister vessel, Reeves, turned back to Mumbles, but the captain of the Caesar was sure he could secure an anchorage.

However, they struck rocks and it was wrecked in a gully now called Caesar’s Hole. More than 60 men escaped but around 80 people didn’t survive, mainly those who were below deck. Their bodies were later recovered and taken to the nearest patch of ground that could be dug. The site of the mass grave was marked with a circle of stones, still seen here today.

This is an extract from my book Gower: The Path Less Trodden. See link in comments for more information.
