Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain history
Early settlers
Many finds of Beaker pottery, dating from 2400 to 2000 BC, suggest settlement of the area in the Bronze Age. Neolithic Neolithic settlement is likely, though there are currently no such sites known in the immediate area. During the Iron Age, around 700 BC, a trend towards a sedentary lifestyle is evidenced by the increased number of settlements.
The Romans
Roman archeological evidence in the area includes a Roman fort in Bronhyddon field adjacent to Cae Hywel orchard. An archaeological excavation at this site revealed a barracks with attached centurion’s house.
The historic Plas-Yn-Dinas
The Plas-Yn-Dinas is 5 km west of Offa’s Dyke and above the flood plain of the Afon Fyrnwy. It was probably a timber castle but certainly a fortified manor house. It is reputed to be the site of the Roman station of Mediolanum.
Y Foel Camp
Y Foel Camp is situated on the summit of the Foel Hill, to the west of the Winllan Road. It has many hallmarks of an Iron Age fortification and there are signs of a rampart and a ditch.
Skirmishes and battles
Two battles fought within Llanerch are said to have taken place in the middle of the 5th century. Emrys wen Pascen, a traitor, induced the Saxons to attack the Welsh. Emerys Benaur was appointed head of the Welsh army, and his victory secured the naming of the township in his honour.
