Carmarthen Castle was one of the largest castles in medieval Wales.
It was also one of the most important, in its role as a centre of
government and as a Crown possession in a region dominated by Welsh
lands and Marcher lordships. Largely demolished during the
seventeenth century, it was subsequently redeveloped, first as a
prison and later as the local authority headquarters. Yet the
surviving remains, and their situation, are still impressive. The
situation changed with a major programme of archaeological and
research work, from 1993 to 2006, which is described in this book.
The history of the castle, its impact on the region and on Wales as
a whole are also examined: we see the officials and other occupants
of the castle, their activities and how they interacted with their
environment. Excavations at the castle, and the artefacts
recovered, are described along with its remaining archaeological
potential. This book puts Carmarthen Castle back at the heart of
the history of medieval Wales, and in its proper place in castle
studies and architectural history, the whole study combining to
make a major contribution to the history of one of Wales's great
towns.
