	Carmarthen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carmarthen (Welsh Caerfyrddin - caer fort + Myrddin Moridunum, Merlin) is the county town of Carmarthenshire, Wales.
		Carmarthen is possibly the oldest town in Wales and was recorded by Ptolemy and in the Antonine Itinerary.
		Carmarthen has a large proportion of Welsh speakers, with the county of Carmarthenshire as a whole boasting the largest population of such by number (the largest Welsh-speaking population by proportion is in Gwynedd).

	Archaeology in Wales - Archaeoleg CAMBRIA Archaeology
		Carmarthen's post-Conquest history (this account of which is based on James 1980, and Lodwick and Lodwick 1972) begins with the establishment of a castle in 1093, not on the present site but at Rhydygors to the south of the landscape area.
		Carmarthen had been subject to a number of attacks during the 12th century, and was besieged by both Glyndwr in 1407 and during the civil war.
		Carmarthen is characterised by a number of good quality former town houses that are mainly concentrated in the centre of the town, while most 18th- and 19th-century building is located at its periphery.

	Carmarthen Castle
		The castle at Carmarthen, on its rocky eminence overlooking the River Twyi, must have dominated the medieval town just as, a little way to the east, the Roman fort must have dominated the Roman town a thousand years before.
		Carmarthen quickly became the administrative center of south-west Wales as it had been under the Romans, and inevitably underwent a series of attacks and rebuilding episodes during the turbulent struggles between Welsh and English in the 12th and 13th centuries.
		The town walls and four gates, the Augustinian priory and the Franciscan house of the grey friars, have all disappeared.

	Carmarthen Town
		Carmarthen itself, although the County town, has suffered from a hotch-potch of development and poor planning over the years with the result that industrial development has taken place close to the town centre - blighting visitors' first impressions.
		Shopping areas in the town have been upgraded in recent years and are for most purposes adequate but they by no means match those offered in similar sized towns elsewhere in the UK.
		A recent addition in Carmarthen is the Greyfriars shopping mall (tiled wall panels were supplied by Felingwm Pottery), which whilst welcome was built without overhead cover in this, one of the wettest parts of the UK.

		Iter XII is entitled "the route from Muridunum to Viroconium", and details the 186 mile journey from Carmarthen, the civitas capital of the Demetae to Viroconium Cornoviorum (Wroxeter, Shropshire) the capital of the Cornovii tribe.

		Carmarthen still had chances with Thomas almost getting on the end of a Neil Smothers pass in the 32nd minute only for O'Brien and Sean Dillon to both block.
