In the sparsely settled areas of Pembrokeshire the points where roads meet have considerable significance and account for the frequency of places called Something Cross. In this case the crossroads serves as a location for a letterbox, a public telephone, a bus stop and several telephone/electricity masts and junction boxes, as well as direction signs. Trefasser is no more than a cluster of houses but was supposedly named for its famous son, St Asser, a C9 monk who acted as scribe and biographer to King Alfred. There is an earthwork, Castell Poeth, behind the hedge; the bulk of Garn Fawr looms beyond.
