Carno
Carno is a village and community in Powys, Wales. It was also a parish in the historic county of Montgomeryshire, comprising the townships of Derlwyn, Llysyn and Trowscoed. It is in the geographical centre of Wales.
A Roman Fort named Gaer Noddfa is located next to the churchyard on the bank of the Afon Carno. The site encompasses a rectangular area 450 feet (140 m) by 270 feet (82 m). A large mound occupies part of the fort; pottery found nearby indicate medieval usage but suggestions that it was a Norman fortification like a motte have been rejected.
In 952, Iago and Ieuaf, the two exiled sons of Idwal Foel, King of Gwynedd, invaded Dyfed. But they were defeated in a decisive battle near Carno by the sons of Hywel Dda, King of Deheubarth. The victory secured the sovereignty of North Wales.
A Grade II* 16th century timber-framed house, Plasau Duon, is near the village.
In 1977 the Manor House Plas Llysyn was put under surveillance and raided as part of Operation Julie, and found to be an LSD factory. The well that supplied the house was destroyed to investigate the contents. £500,000,000 of LSD was manufactured in the cellars here, supplying 50% of the world's LSD at the time.
On Thursday 29 August 1991 at 12.54pm, a Cessna F152 from Halfpenny Green, was hit and the pilot killed instantly.
The other aircraft SEPECAT Jaguar T.2A 'XX843', from RAF Coltishall was from 54 Sqn. When the Jaguar crashed, it killed 12 sheep and 2 cats. Both pilots ejected. One of Jaguar pilots was killed, 40 year old John Mardon, who had recently had a heart-lung transplant; the other pilot was injured.
The Afon Carno rises near the watershed with the Afon Dyfi; and runs 9 miles south-eastward to the River Severn, 2¼ miles north of Llandinam. The village's name is supposedly derived from the Welsh language word for cairn (carnedd), as there are many ancient cairns on the hills surrounding the village.
