Cilcennin is a village in the community of Ciliau Aeron, Ceredigion, west Wales. The River Aeron is to the southwest.

History

Cilcennin is the site of a historic slaughter in 1210, when Owain Goch ap Gruffydd and three hundred men attacked and killed soldiers from a superior English and Welsh troops' body under the command of their uncle Maelgwn ap Rhys.

The church in Cilcennin is dedicated to St. Cannen, and was rebuilt in the 19th century through public contributions.
