description CARMARTHENSHIRE (1) Carmarthen (Moridunum): (a) 131 Priory Street (SN 4160 2036):1 an archaeological evaluation revealed deposits containing fragments of Roman pottery, ceramic building material, mortar and plaster immediately to the rear of the street front property at a depth of 0.55 m below existing ground level (22.13 m OD) at its highest. Presumably this road would have formed part of the formal road layout, and should thus enhance understanding of the insula layout of the town.4 (2) Ffairfach, Lovelodge Farm (SN 6230 2150): the line of a Roman road leading south-south-west from Llandeilo passes through the southern part of the area, visible as a large linear earthwork. Two square enclosures were revealed on the geophysical survey, which are tentatively interpreted as Roman practice camps close to the Roman fort at Llandeilo, although further excavation would be needed to confirm their date and character.5 DENBIGHSHIRE (1) Bodelwyddan, land east of Bodelwyddan (SJ 0113 7558): following an extensive geophysical survey, trial trenching confirmed the existence of a double-ditched enclosure with the overall dimensions of c. 92 m north-east/south-west by up to 41 m north-west/south-east with the north-easternmost enclosure element measuring c. 50 m by c. 41 m and the south-westernmost enclosure element measuring c. 42 m north-east/south-west by up to 40 m north-west/south-east. The palaeo-environmental samples recovered suggested scattered occupation waste that included limited charred cereal grains and herb/weed seeds mixed with small quantities of charcoal.6 (2) Corwen, Druid (SJ 038 434): an evaluation of a small square-barrow cemetery exposed a partial section of the Roman road from Chester and Caer Gai (RR66a).7 MERTHYR TYDFIL (1) Penydarren, football pitch (SO 0499 0673): trial excavations and a watching-brief revealed that the grandstands had destroyed parts of the Roman fort but there is still stratified Roman archaeology within the centre of the pitch.8 MONMOUTHSHIRE (1) Caerwent (Venta Silurum) (ST 468 905): a small area of cobbles, probably the fragmentary remains of the Roman street, was exposed in a cable trench in the road (ST 46967 90548).
