The Sgadan Abergwaun - Fishguard Herrings is a notable bronze sculpture located on the Quayside of Lower Fishguard, Pembrokeshire, South Wales. Created by local artist John Cleal and erected in 2006, this striking artwork features a shoal of herrings swimming above a massive 25-tonne stone boulder sourced from the nearby Preseli mountain range.
This sculpture serves as a tribute to the historic herring industry that once thrived in the region, reflecting its significance in the local economy and culture. The local populace, known as sgadan Abergwaun, underscored the herring's vital role in their diet and livelihood until its decline in the late 18th century.
