In 2017, Trellech was the subject of headlines after a man bought a piece of land in hopes of unearthing historical artifacts. Instead, he discovered a forgotten medieval city.
Stuart Wilson purchased the South Wales land parcel measuring 4.6 acres more than 10 years ago because he thought it would be significant in Norman history.
His discovery of the remains from an industrial village was a proof that he was right.
It is believed that the city dates back to 13th-century and was home to approximately 10,000 people including Norman lords from the de Clare who used the area to produce iron in mass quantities.
