The Hundred of Dewisland (often written "Dewsland") was a hundred in northwest Pembrokeshire, Wales. Formerly the pre-Norman cantref of Pebidiog, it included the city and the peninsula of St Davids.[1] It was named after Dewi Sant, the Welsh name for Saint David.[2]
The Petty Sessions for the hundred were held at Solfach.[3]
