Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Building remains emerging out of sand dunes at the deserted medieval settlement at St Ishmael on the Towy estuary, Carmarthenshire, first noted in the late nineteenth century, were recorded intermittently between 2010 and 2018. A linear arrangement of at least eight, rectangular structures with stone footings are known, lying along the foreshore over a distance of c. 300m, to the south of the medieval church dedicated to St Ishmael. The building types and form of settlement cannot be paralleled in the region. Occupation between the twelfth to fifteenth centuries is indicated by a small ceramic assemblage. Associated plant, animal and fish remains indicate domestic occupation. The fortunes of the settlement were likely to have been linked with fisheries in the estuary. These and the settlement were abandoned in the fifteenth/early sixteenth century due to coastal change and the encroachment of sand dunes. Limited activity up to the late sixteenth century is suggested by a few sherds of post-medieval pottery
