Nation Cymru has a report about the excavation of another medieval quay. This time it is at Laugharne in Carmarthenshire. The site had undergone changes as the river shifted its course, the quay being extended towards the water until it finally became unusable in the seventeenth century.
The excavation has also revealed remains of buildings along the quayside including a substantial medieval hall house.
The excavation is taking place as part of the renovation of historic house nearby and I hope these new discoveries can be incorporated into the landscaping of its grounds.
The illustrated article about the excavation can be seen at Medieval quay discovered by archaeologists in shadow of Welsh castle
Coincidentally I recently came across a travel article about Laugharne and its neighbourhood from the Daily Telegraph which might help to provide a background to the town, and which can be seen at Britain’s forgotten seaside jewel – with Roman relics, rolling hills and glorious beaches
