RAMSEY, an island of South Wales, on the coast of Pembrokeshire, about two miles in length, and a mile and a half broad. Near it are several small ones, known by the name of the bishop and his clerks. It is four miles west of St David's, and 17 north-east of Milford haven. It belongs to the bishopric of St David's, and was in the last age, says Camden, famous for the death of one Justinian, a most holy man, who retiring hither from Brittany, in that age rich in saints, and devoting himself entirely to God, lived a 10.3 while in solitude, and being at last murdered by his servant was enrolled among the martyrs. W. Long. 5. 20. N. Lat. 51. 55.
