About  Neath   

Neath - Castell Nedd. Wales. In about AD 75 the Romans chose the site, on the River Neath (Nedd), for a fort, Nidum, to protect their road from Gloucester to Carmarthen at the lowest practicable crossing of the river. In the 12th century a castle was constructed there; the adjoining town was granted a charter by William FitzRobert, 2nd Earl of Gloucester, but in 1231 the castle was destroyed by the Welsh prince Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. The 12th-century Cistercian foundation, Neath Abbey, is also now a ruin.
