Another excellent Cadw guidebook! And my heart starts thumping with this one as I have ancestors who arose in the area of Monmouthshire and their ancient ones could have known this town! (My Y-DNA leads back to the Uí Néill of the north of Ireland via Brycheiniog so apparently not Roman but maybe on a maternal line branching off?) It is amazing that there is no known written Roman source for Caerwent. The Silurian Civitas is established by some of the inscriptions that have been found along with a rather obvious basilica foundation. I've been to the amazing ruins at Caerwent. Now, I need to see this!

Standard Cadw guide. First half history of site. Second half tour. Some nice pictures of what the site probably looked like.
