About half a mile fouth of Caernarvon 

 are a few walls, the fmall remains of Be-* A' 

 gontium,* the antient Roman city, men- 

 tioned in the Itinerary of Antoninus, which 

 appears to have been the principal ftation 

 the Romans had in this country. Dinas 

 Dinorddwig,-f- and all the others being 

 only fubordinate ftations. The Roman 

 road from Dinas Dinlle to Segontium, and 

 from thence to Dinas Dinorddwig, is, in 

 fome places, ftill vifible. 



* Called alfo by the Welfli Caer Cujleint, the 

 fort of Conftantine, and Caer Segont, the fort on the 

 river Seiont.
