"CALDY ISLAND, an extra-parochial district to the borough of Tenby, hundred of Narberth, in the county of Pembroke, South Wales, 3 miles to the S. of Tenby. It lies off the W. coast of Carmarthen Bay, and was the site of a priory, founded by Robert de Tours in the first half of the 12th century, as a cell to the abbey of St. Dogmell's. The tower of the conventual church and other portions of the buildings still remain. A lighthouse was erected on the island in 1829, with a fixed light at an elevation of 210 feet above the level of the sea, and visible at a distance of nearly 20 miles. Its Welsh name is Ynys Pyr.
