Viggen Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 A medieval city which disappeared 700 years ago may finally have been unearthed. Monmouth Archaeological Society believes it may have discovered the location of `the lost city of Trellech' just a few miles south of the current village of the same name. In the 13th Century, Trellech was the largest community in Wales and with nearly 400 burgages (houses) it was bigger than Cardiff or Caerleon. Evidence has suggested the city may have burned to the ground more than 300 years prior to the Great Fire of London, bringing a violent and sudden end to civilisation there. full article at This is Gwent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
