Historical sites in Wales: Cilmeri

Historical sites in Wales: Cilmeri (sometimes given the anglicised spelling Cilmery) is a village in Powys, mid-Wales.
The village is famous for being close to the spot where the last native Prince of Wales of direct descent, Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, was slain in a skirmish by soldiers in the service of Edward I of England, on 11 December 1282.
A memorial stone to Llywelyn ap Gruffudd was erected on the site in 1956 and serves as the focal point for an annual day of remembrance on the anniversary of his death.
