Caerau, Cardiff
Caerau is a community in the west of Cardiff, capital city of Wales. Often considered part of Wenvoe, Heol Trelai is the main road or avenue, lined with large trees. Dominated mostly by private housing, it has the Western Leisure Centre, supermarkets, schools and churches.
==History==
Caerau, named after the Welsh language word for 'Fort', sits at the base of a hill slope on the edge of Cardiff.
In 2012, Caerau Hillfort underwent a dig by archaeological television programme ''Time Team''. The research showed that the Iron Age site consists of a substantial hilltop surrounded by multi-vallate earthworks (rings of banks and ditches) that have been cut through at the southeastern extent by a major road. It also uncovered that Caerau was likely a tribal capital for the Silures, who were powerful local people who strongly resisted Roman incursions into their land. The dig unearthed pottery and armoury that dated back to 1,000 B.C. In 1894, a Roman villa was discovered on the Racecourse and excavations were carried out in 1922. The results showed several outbuildings and bathing facilities used to exist there.
The former village of Caerau officially became part of Cardiff in 1922. Many homes and schools were built on the old racecourse, although enough of it was preserved to become Trelai Park. The historic parish church of St. Mary is now in an advanced state of ruin.
