*************
Barry (Welsh: Y Barri) is a town and community in the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales. Located along the northern coast of the Bristol Channel less than 7 miles (11 km) south-southwest of Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, Barry is a seaside resort, with attractions including several beaches and the Barry Island Pleasure Park. Once a small village, Barry has absorbed its larger neighbouring villages of Cadoxton and Barry Island.
The meaning of the place name is derived from the Welsh 'barr' meaning 'hill'.
The current population of Barry is 47,863,[1] and the town is ranked as the seventh largest locality in Wales.
The area now occupied by Barry has seen human activity in many periods of history. Mesolithic or Middle Stone Age microlith flint tools have been found at Friars Point on Barry Island and near Wenvoe[2] and Neolithic or New Stone Age polished stone axe-heads were discovered in St. Andrews Major.[3] A cinerary urn (pottery urn buried with cremation ashes) was found on Barry Island during excavations of Bronze Age barrows[4][5] and two more were found in a barrow at Cold Knap Point.[6] A large defended enclosure or Iron Age promontory hillfort was located at the Bulwarks at Porthkerry[7] and there was evidence of the existence of an early Iron Age farmstead during construction of Barry College off Colcot Road.[8]
In Roman times farmsteads existed on the site of Barry Castle and Biglis and there were verbal reports of discovery of a cemetery including lead coffins with scallop-shell decoration. Both St. Baruc's Chapel and St. Nicholas Church have re-used Roman bricks and tiles incorpoarated in their building fabric[9] and a Roman villa was discovered in Llandough.[10] In 1980 a Roman building consisting of 22 rooms and cellars in four ranges around a central courtyard was excavated at Glan-y-môr and is believed to be a third-century building associated with naval activity, maybe a supply depot.[11]
The Vikings launched raids in the area and Barry Island was known to be a raider base in 1087.[12] Flat Holm and Steep Holm islands in the Bristol Channel have their name Holm name derived from a Scandinavian word for an island in an estuary. The excavation of the Glan-y-môr site revealed the site had been reused in the 6th and 7th century and also between AD 830 and 950 as a dry stone sub-rectangular building with a turf or thatched roof.[9]
