PRN 57 NAME CARMARTHEN CASTLE TYPE Castle PERIOD Medieval NGR SN4130820005 COMMUNITY Carmarthen CONDITION Near Destroyed STATUS Scheduled Monument CM008 EVIDENCE Building SUMMARY Originally a motte and bailey castle built 1109 by Walter, Sheriff of Gloucester. It was attacked repeatedly by the Welsh during the 12th and earlier 13th centuries, destroyed in 1137 and rebuilt in stone in 1145. It was eventually retaken from Llwelyn the Great by William Marshall the younger in 1223 and returned to royal control. During the 14th century the castle appears to have been extensively repaired and added to with substantial royal apartments and administrative rooms. It was captured by Owain Glyndwr in 1405. It played an important role in the Wars of the Roses and Civil War, probably slighted in the late 1640's. Much of the remains were demolished in 1789-92 for the construction of the county gaol, and again from 1938 with the construction of the County Hall. (PP 14/5/04, taken from Cadw-listed buildings information). DESCRIPTION Carmarthen castle was built at the end of the 13th cent. The only extact features are the gate house and the line of the mural towers. R.C.A.M The site needs to be reserveyed. T James 17/2/1976 Listed by W.O. - Castle hill The first castle of Carmarthen was of the type commonly found in this age. It had a motte, or mound, crowned with a tower or donjon, and surrounded by a ditch; while all outer court, or bailey, adjoined the ditch, having its own defence. JE Lloyd 1907 TOASFC, vols 12-14, part 31, refs to a passage from th castle to the "mill within the town wall's", or the castle gates (towers) There are frequent references to a chapel within the castle in the state papers published in vol.IV (1913-14) of the transactions of the west Wales Historical society.

  • HISTORY of ABERYSTWYTH
    HISTORY of ABERYSTWYTH We all think of Aberystwyth as a seaside resort town. The presence of the ruined castle suggests a coloured medieval history, fraught with battles and land forever changing hands between powerful rulers. However, there was evidence of human activity in Aberystwyth long before this time, so we thought it might be worth going through the history of Aberyst- wyth right from the start. The earliest recorded human activity in Aberystwyth area dates back to around 11,500 years ago during the mesolithic period. The mesolithic period signalled the end of a long and arduous ice age, which saw most of the worlds surface covered in ice, leav- ing only the most hardy plants and animals to survive. As the ice retreaded in Mid Wales, this revealed large supplies of stone, including flint at Tan-Y-Bwlch which lies at the foot of Pen Dinas hill. There is strong evidence that the area was used for flint knapping, which involved the shaping of the flint deposits left behind by the retreating ice in order to make weapons for hunting for hunting animals. The flint could be shaped into sharp points, which could be used as primitive spears and other equipment, used by the hunter gatherer to obtain food. Around 3000 years ago there is evidence of an early Celtic ringfort on the site of Pen Dinas. The ringfort is a circular fortified set- tlement which was common throughout Northern Europe in the Bronze and Iron ages. What remains of this particular example at Aberystwyth is now located on private land on Pen Dinas, and can only be accessed by arrangement.

  • Dyfed Final Recommendations News Release
    NEWS RELEASE Issued by the Telephone 02920 395031 Boundary Commission for Wales Caradog House Fax 02920 395250 1-6 St Andrews Place Cardiff CF10 3BE Date 25 August 2004 FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE PRESERVED COUNTY OF DYFED The Commission propose to make no change to their provisional recommendations for five constituencies in the preserved county of Dyfed. 1. Provisional recommendations in respect of Dyfed were published on 5 January 2004. The Commission received eleven representations, five of which were in support of their provisional recommendations. Three of the representations objected to the inclusion of the whole of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division within the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency, one objected to the name of the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency and one suggested the existing arrangements for the area be retained. 2. The Commission noted that, having received no representation of the kind mentioned in section 6 (2) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, there was no statutory requirement to hold a local inquiry. The Commission further decided that in all the circumstances they would not exercise their discretion under section 6 (1) to hold an inquiry. Final recommendations 3. The main objection to the provisional recommendations was in respect of the inclusion of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division in the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency. It was argued that the division should be included in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr on the grounds that the majority of the electorate in the division fell within that constituency and that inclusion in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr rather than Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire would reduce the disparity between the electorates of the two constituencies and would bring them closer to the electoral quota.

  • Programme 3 the Norman Conquest of Pembrokeshire
    PROGRAMME 3 THE NORMAN CONQUEST OF PEMBROKESHIRE Introduction. We’re walking through Pembrokeshire and Britain’s only coastal national park to discover how a group of French-speaking warriors turned this corner of Wales into a place still known as ‘Little England beyond Wales’. Home to miles of rugged coast line, beautiful beaches and incredible wildlife, it’s a landscape and culture heavily shaped by the Normans. Unlike the knockout victory of Hastings, this conquest was a long, fiercely fought struggle. Over time the Normans turned a Welsh speaking Kingdom into an English speaking shire dominated by castles, churches and the amazing cathedral in the city of St Davids. .Walking Through History Day 1 . From St Davids, we’ll make our way along the coastal cliffs, learning about the Norman’s first meetings with the native Welsh. We’ll start by walking in the footsteps of England’s greatest warrior king – William the Conqueror. St Davids to Newgale via Pembrokeshire Coastal Path Distance: 10 miles Day 2 . Heading inland, we’re walking the rough frontier the Norman’s fought to create with the rest of Wales. We’ll trace this boundary – or Landsker Line – that formed as Normans and Flemings flooded in, past early defences at Hayscastle and Wolfcastle. Climbing Great Treffgarne Mountain gives the perfect look out over the landscape facing the invaders. Finally we head south-west, to discover how the native Welsh fought back as I reach Wiston. Newgale to Wiston via Hayscastle, Wolfcastle and Great Treffgarne Mountain Distance: 20 miles Day 3 . The River Cleddau is our guide on Day 3, as we find out how a stunning welsh princess seduced Normans, Welsh and English alike.

  • The 154Th Annual Summer Meeting Carmarthen 2007
    The 154th Annual Summer Meeting Carmarthen 2007 The summer meeting in 2007 was held at Trinity College Carmarthen from August 12th - 18th, a period which threatened appalling weather, but which in the event was showery and occasionally drizzly but also included periods of sunshine, providing fine views of the Towy valley, the river around which the programme for the meeting was woven. The meeting was conceived and organised by Gwilym Hughes and Marion Page of Cambria Archaeology, with the help of members of the Carmarthenshire Antiquarian Society and of Cambrian members from the area. The programme booklet, with full colour illustrations for the first time, was prepared by Marion Page who had also made all the day to day arrangements for the excursions. Nansi Mascetti had agreed to look after accommodation matters at Trinity College, a role which proved to be unexpectedly taxing because, despite the efficiency of the management of the Halliwell Centre where the dining and lecture rooms were, the plumbing in the accommodation blocks was frequently troublesome. Frances Llewellyn had taken care of recruitment and the meeting finances. Sunday August 12th. Members arrived in Carmarthen in the late afternoon and were joined for dinner by the winners of the G.T.Clark Prizes and the Blodwen Jerman prize, this year for the first time awarded for university dissertations. After dinner the prizes and cheques were given out by the President-elect Tom Lloyd (see separate report in this volume). This short ceremony was followed by informal introductions to the region by Gwilym Hughes and by Ken Day who illustrated his talk with some of the splendid photographs which graced his recent book Beloved Towy.
