Llanllwch

Llanllwch is a hamlet in Carmarthenshire, Wales approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Carmarthen.

The Llanllwch area formed part of the royal demesne manor of Carmarthen Castle between Norman times and the late thirteenth century when they were farmed out for rent to 'customary' tenants called "gabblers" (gabularii) or "gafol-men", who were still tied to the castle.

Eleven of the twelve gafol-men died from the Black Death between 1349 and 1350 and the other tenants abandoned their land, leaving the area uncultivated.

According to accounts of 1407–09, the hamlet and the mills were "totally destroyed and devastated" during the Welsh Revolt of Owain Glyndŵr.

[1] West of Llanllwch lies Cors Goch, a lowland raised mire and one of the last six large raised bogs in Wales, and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
