In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Boverton like this:
BOVERTON, a hamlet in Lantwit-Major parish, Glamorgan; on the Julian way, 4½ miles S of Cowbridge. It has a post office under Cowbridge. It disputes with other places the claim of being the Roman Bovium; and it has traces of a baronial fortalice which belonged first to the lords of Cardiff, then to the family of Seys.
