Human settlement in Wales
Caerhun (Welsh : Caerhûn ) is a scattered rural community , and former civil parish , on the west bank of the River Conwy . It lies to the south of Henryd and the north of Dolgarrog , in Conwy County Borough , Wales, and includes several small villages and hamlets including Llanbedr-y-cennin , Rowen , Tal-y-bont and Ty'n-y-groes. It was formerly in the historic county of Caernarvonshire . At the 2001 census, it had a population of 1,200,[1] [2] Carneddau range including the lakes of Llyn Eigiau , Llyn Dulyn and Llyn Melynllyn .
Features [ edit ]
Surrounding the 14th-century parish church of St. Mary are the banks of the Roman fort of Canovium . The excavations of the Roman site were directed by P.K. Baillie Reynolds , of Aberystwyth University , over a period of four summers in the 1920s,[3] [4] [4]
The church and its churchyard occupy the north-east quarter of the original Roman site. Canovium was built at an ancient river crossing and was an important post on the Roman road and ancient drovers road via Bwlch-y-Ddeufaen to Abergwyngregyn and the Menai Strait . Latterly the best crossing point, now with a bridge, has been at nearby Tal-y-Cafn . After the end of Roman rule in Britain , the fort was associated with King Rhun Hir of Gwynedd , hence the subsequent name.
