SN6619 : Carreg Cennen Castle
near to Trapp, Carmarthenshire/Sir Gaerfyrddin, Great Britain

Carreg Cennen Castle
Carreg Cennen Castle dates back to at least the 13th century. There is archaeological evidence, however, that the Romans and prehistoric peoples occupied the craggy hilltop centuries earlier (a cache of Roman coins and four prehistoric skeletons have been unearthed at the site).
Although the Welsh Princes of Deheubarth built the first castle at Carreg Cennen, what remains today dates to King Edward I's momentous period of castle-building in Wales.
