CARDIGANSHIRE Is a maritime county in South Wales, which was antiently inhabited by the Dimeti?, and by the Romans included in their Province of Britannia Secunda. It is in the province of Canterbury, diocese of St.David's, and Western circuit of South Wales. It is bounded on the North by Merionethshire and Montgomeryshire; on the South by Pembroke and Carmarthenshire; on the East by Radnorshire, Montgomeryshire, and Brechnockshire; and by the Irish Sea on the West. It is about 40 miles long, 18 broad, and 100 in circumference, containing 520,000 square acres, divided into 5 hundreds, 77 parishes, having 35,380 inhabitants, and five market towns, viz. Aberistwith, Cardigan, Llanbadernvawr, and Tregaron. It sends two Members to parliament; and its rivers are the Tievy, Wye, Kiddal, and Istwith. The principal places of note are the Plinlimmon hills, Rescob forest, Cardigan bay, Mount head, Penybadell and New-Key points. It produces corn, cattle, river and sea fish; fowl, game, copper, lead and silver ore. Its air is milder than any other part of Wales, and the soil fruitful, having the character of being the nursery of cattle for all England, South of Trent. Many Roman antiquities have been dug up, and are yet preserved in different parts of the county, particularly at Lhan Dhewy Brevi. There are several rude monuments of the antient Britons, viz. at Lhech yr Ast near Cardigan are three; at Neuodh are 19 stones, called Numerary stones; another called the stone of the Gigantic Woman; another called the Conspicuous Colossus; and a remarkable one at Penbryn, supposed to be earlier than the arrival of the Romans; as is another near Aberistwith. Lhannio is supposed to have been the Lovantium of Ptolemy, as is the river Istwith to have been his Stuccia. The river Tievy is by him called Tuerobius.

ANTIQUITIES worthy Notice are, Aberistwith Castle, Llanbadernvawr Church, Cardigan Castle and Priory, Stratflowr Abbey near Tregaron.
