He was a male of lowly origins however "his nerve and also charitable deportment got him the sovereignty in Wales: he made war against the Romans, reigned seven years and was buried in Tregarron".: He is likely the very same person as Carausius who took power in Britain in 286 and also was assassinated in 293 by Allectus (likewise see Carausian Revolt). An early Christian stone slab bearing the name Carausius and the Chi Rho symbol is maintained in Penmachno. The church has a tower and depends on a rough eminence. It consists of a simple nave and chancel. Other notable structures in the community consist of the 13th-century Talbot Hotel, which supposedly has actually an elephant hidden in its grounds. The remote chapel Soar y mynydd is close to Tregaron. In March, 1977, a home near Tregaron was one target of an Operation Julie cops raid in which large amounts of the medicine LSD were confiscated. Nearby Cors Caron (Tregaron Bog), is known for its adders, buzzards, red kites, as well as polecats. The River Brenig is noted for its brownish trout as well as eels. The river has actually been the topic of dredging and also flood-protection functions to offer 1-in-100-year flood protection to the community and enhance the environment for wild animals along a stretch of river.
