POSTAL ADDRESS-CAERLEON, MON HALF-HOLIDAY-THURSDAY
AREA, 3,406 acres. RATEABLE VALUE, £16,161. POPULATION, 3,449.
Caerleon is an ancient market town, civil parish and Urban District, three miles N.R
from Newport, and is a polling station for the parishes of Tredunnock, Llanhennock, Kemeys
Inferior, Llanthewy Vach, Llandegveth, and Llangattock-Caerleon. It is situated on
level ground on the right bank of the river Usk, and is connected by a substantial stone
bridge with Caerleon village (Caerleon-Ultra-Pontem), which is in the parish of Christchurch,
Geoffrey of Monmouth states that Caerleon was originally built in the third or
fourth century before Christ. During the Roman occupation it was the headquarters
of the second Augustan Legion, being the capital of the province of Britannia Secunda,
and the remains of an amphitheatre are to been seen in a field to the south of the
church, together with parts of the town wall. A new series of excavations were commenced
in 1926, under the direction of the Director National Museum ot Wales on a site secured
and presented for the purpose by one of the principal London daily newspapers. The result
has been to lay bare many very interesting buildings and foundations. Choice specimens
of Roman pottery, amber, ornaments, etc. have also been recovered, and the work is still
proceeding. There is likewise a large artificial mound now known as the Mount. As
early as A.D. 314 Caerleon was the seat of a Bishopric (283 years before the arrival of St.
Augustine). It is also noteworthy for its historical connection with King Arthur and his
Knights of the Round Table. Many valuable and interesting relics of the Roman
occupation have been discovered and are deposited in the Legionary Museum, admission to
which can be obtained on application at the Schoolhouse opposite. At the Hanbury
Arms there is a room where Tennyson wrote part of his" Idylls of the King." The Afon-
Llwyd or Torvain, which rises on the western side of the Blorenge mountain, joins the
Usk a little to the N.E. of the town. There is a railway station connected with Newport,
Pontypool, and Hereford section of the Great Western system, and the Eastern Valleys
line to Cwmbran, Pontypool and Blaenavon.
