Crynodeb Nad yw’n Dechnegol<br />
Gwnaethpwyd arolygiad o ardal <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mynydd</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Llangynidr</str<strong>on</strong>g> o dan nawdd Menter Ucheldiroedd<br />
gymor<strong>the</strong>dig y Comisiwn Brenhinol ar Henebi<strong>on</strong> Hanesyddol Cymru (RCAHMW) rhwng Ebrill 2008<br />
a Mawrth 2009.<br />
Oddeutu 38 cilomedr sgwâr oedd maint yr ardal arolygu ac roedd yn cwmpasu crib i’r Gogledd o<br />
Ferthyr Tudful ac i’r Gorllewin o Grucywel, gyda Chr<strong>on</strong>fa P<strong>on</strong>tsticill yn ffin iddi i’r Gorllewin a’r<br />
B4560 yn darparu’r ffin Ddwyreiniol. I’r de gorweddai terfyn y Parc Cenedlaethol, Comin Merthyr<br />
a’r A465 (T) rhwng Cendl a Merthyr Tudful.<br />
Cafwyd 660 o safleoedd o ganlyniad i’r arolygiad, ac o’r rhain yr oedd 121 wedi’u cofnodi ar y<br />
NMR a 320 ar yr HER. Roedd gan yr ardaloedd dyffrynnog ddwysedd uwch o safleoedd na’r<br />
llethrau uwch. Roedd hyn oherwydd bod llawer mwy o graig yn brigo y medrid ei defnyddio er<br />
mwyn codi adeiladweithiau. Gwelwyd gweithgarwch diwydiannol mynych ôl-ganoloesol a modern<br />
o amgylch ymyl<strong>on</strong> yr ardal arolygu, yn arbennig yng Ngogledd-ddwyrain a De-orllewin yr ardal.<br />
Ni chafodd y pantiau o waith dyn a gafwyd yn aml iawn yn y llethrau marian eu cofnodi bob<br />
amser, oherwydd iddynt gael eu hadeiladu’n ddiweddar iawn ac am fod cymaint oh<strong>on</strong>ynt yn<br />
gyffredinol. Nodweddi<strong>on</strong> ôl-ganoloesol neu fodern oedd y rhain a grëwyd gan dynnu cerrig rhydd<br />
a’u pentyrru o amgylch y pant. Fel rheol yr oeddent oddeutu 1.5 medr ar eu traws ac 1 fedr o<br />
ddyfnder, er bod eu siâp a’u maint yn amrywio’n sylweddol. Fe’u ceid yn aml mewn grwpiau,<br />
weithiau bob yn ddau, <strong>on</strong>d yn ddig<strong>on</strong> mynych yn dod i gymaint â deg neu bym<strong>the</strong>g. Mae’n<br />
ymddangos bod y pantiau hyn yn llochesau bach neu dyllau ymochel, sy’n gysylltiedig â<br />
hyfforddiant milwrol. Golyga’r ffaith fod cymaint o’r nodweddi<strong>on</strong> hyn yn bresennol ledled yr ardal<br />
na chawsant mo’u cynnwys yn y gr<strong>on</strong>fa ddata derfynol.<br />
Yn gyffredinol cafwyd y cerrig brig ar y llethrau uwch, ac arddangoswyd argaeledd calchfaen ar<br />
gyfer adeiladu a phrosesau diwydiannol gan yr odynau calch a’r chwareli yn yr ardal arolygu.<br />
Yn ystod yr arolygiad ni lwyddwyd i ganfod rhai safleoedd a gofnodir yn yr HER lleol<br />
(Ymddiriedolaeth Archeolegol Clwyd-Powys). Mewn rhai achosi<strong>on</strong>, medrai hyn fod oherwydd bod<br />
y cyfesurynnau yn anghywir. Mwy na <strong>the</strong>byg y gellir priodoli methiannau eraill i ddod o hyd i<br />
safleoedd i’r gorchudd trwchus o lystyfiant ar y llethrau is a’r ardaloedd eang o weunydd mawn a<br />
chorsydd yn rhan ddeheuol yr ardal arolygu. Gallai’r tywydd fod yn ffactor yn ogystal, gydag eira<br />
ysgafn yn cuddio rhai nodweddi<strong>on</strong> o bryd i’w gilydd. Fodd bynnag, daethpwyd o hyd i lawer o<br />
safleoedd newydd yn ogystal.<br />
Yn gyffredinol, llwyddodd y prosiect yn y gwaith o greu cofnod cyflawn o’r adeiladweithiau<br />
artiffisial o fewn yr ardal arolygu a chynhyrchu set o ddata a fydd yn cefnogi ymchwil yn y<br />
dyfodol. Defnyddiwyd cryn dipyn ar GIS a bydd y trawsgrifiadau o’r ffotograffau o’r aer o’r<br />
RCAHMW a’r data yn cyfrannu at brosiect sydd ar y gweill yn ArchaeoPhysica er mwyn datblygu<br />
dulliau dadansoddol wedi’u seilio ar GIS o archwilio Ucheldiroedd Cymru.<br />

N<strong>on</strong>-Technical Summary<br />
Survey of <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mynydd</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Llangynidr</str<strong>on</strong>g> area proceeded <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> auspices of <strong>the</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Royal</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Commissi<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Ancient and Historical M<strong>on</strong>uments of Wales (RCAHMW) grant aided Uplands Initiative between<br />
April 2008 and March 2009.<br />
The survey area was roughly 38 square kilometres and covered a ridge north of Merthyr Tydfil<br />
and west of Crickhowell, bounded by P<strong>on</strong>tisticill Reservoir to <strong>the</strong> west and <strong>the</strong> B4560 to <strong>the</strong> east.<br />
To <strong>the</strong> south was <strong>the</strong> Nati<strong>on</strong>al Park boundary, Merthyr Comm<strong>on</strong> and <strong>the</strong> A465 (T) between<br />
Beaufort and Merthyr Tydfil.<br />
The survey resulted in 660 sites, of which 121 were recorded <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> NMR and 320 <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> HER.<br />
The valley areas bore a higher density of sites than <strong>the</strong> upper slopes. This was because <strong>the</strong>re<br />
was far more outcropping rock which could be utlised to build structures. There was frequent<br />
post-medieval and modern industrial activity around <strong>the</strong> edges of <strong>the</strong> survey area, particularly in<br />
<strong>the</strong> north-east and south-west of <strong>the</strong> area. The very frequent occurrence of man-made hollows in<br />
<strong>the</strong> scree slopes were not always recorded due to <strong>the</strong>ir very recent c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> and overall<br />
abundance. These were post-medieval or modern features created by removing loose st<strong>on</strong>es and<br />
piling around <strong>the</strong> depressi<strong>on</strong>. They were usually about 1.5 metres across and 1 metre deep,<br />
though <strong>the</strong>ir shape and dimensi<strong>on</strong>s varied markedly. They were often found in groups,<br />
sometimes in pairs, but not infrequently numbering as many as ten or fifteen. It seems that<br />
<strong>the</strong>se hollows are small shelters or foxholes associated with military training. The number of <strong>the</strong>se<br />
features all over <strong>the</strong> area meant that <strong>the</strong>y have not been included in <strong>the</strong> final database.<br />
The rock outcropping was generally <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> higher slopes and <strong>the</strong> availability of limest<strong>on</strong>e for<br />
building and industrial processes was dem<strong>on</strong>strated by <strong>the</strong> lime kilns and quarries in <strong>the</strong> survey<br />
area.<br />
Some sites recorded in <strong>the</strong> local HER (<strong>the</strong> Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust) could not be found<br />
during survey. On occasi<strong>on</strong>s this could be because <strong>the</strong> co-ordinates were incorrect. O<strong>the</strong>r failures<br />
to locate sites are probably attributable to <strong>the</strong> dense vegetati<strong>on</strong> cover <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> lower slopes and <strong>the</strong><br />
large areas of peat bogs and marsh in <strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>rn part of <strong>the</strong> survey area. Wea<strong>the</strong>r c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s<br />
may have also been a factor, with light snowfall sometimes masking some features. However,<br />
many new sites were also discovered.<br />
Overall <strong>the</strong> project has been successful in making a total record of <strong>the</strong> artificial structures within<br />
<strong>the</strong> survey area and producing a data set that will support future research. Extensive use has<br />
been made of GIS and <strong>the</strong> air photo transcripti<strong>on</strong>s from <strong>the</strong> RCAHMW and <strong>the</strong> data will c<strong>on</strong>tribute<br />
to a developing project at ArchaeoPhysica to develop GIS-based analytical approaches to<br />
examining Welsh Uplands.<br />

1.1 The survey area lies within <strong>the</strong> Brec<strong>on</strong> Beac<strong>on</strong>s, Powys, and covers roughly 35 square<br />
kilometres over <strong>on</strong>e ridge, <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mynydd</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Llangynidr</str<strong>on</strong>g>, west of Crickhowell, and Cefn yr Ystrad, east of<br />
P<strong>on</strong>tsticill reservoir and north of Merthyr Tydfil.<br />
Parties involved<br />
1.2 The survey was commissi<strong>on</strong>ed by <strong>the</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Royal</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Commissi<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ancient and Historical<br />
M<strong>on</strong>uments of Wales (RCAHMW) <strong>on</strong> receipt of grant aid funding from <strong>the</strong> Welsh Assembly.<br />
1.3 Fieldwork used a team of up to five people drawn from Anne & Martin Roseveare, Graham<br />
Britt<strong>on</strong>, Neil Paveley and Graham Arnold. Database design and GIS support was by Martin<br />
Roseveare and data entry was by Graham Arnold. GIS-based analysis was by Martin Roseveare.<br />
1.4 Acknowledgements are due to <strong>the</strong> RCAHMW for support during <strong>the</strong> project, CPAT for supply<br />
of informati<strong>on</strong> from <strong>the</strong> HER, Welsh Water (Dwr Cymru) for allowing access to <strong>the</strong>ir tracks leading<br />
to reservoirs and <strong>the</strong> Forestry <str<strong>on</strong>g>Commissi<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> for allowing access to <strong>the</strong>ir tracks.<br />
Basic methodology & rati<strong>on</strong>ale<br />
1.5 The Uplands Initiative projects are field rec<strong>on</strong>naissance exercises c<strong>on</strong>tributing to an increased<br />
understanding of <strong>the</strong> archaeological c<strong>on</strong>tent of <strong>the</strong> Welsh upland regi<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
1.6 A GIS system was prepared in advance, incorporating current mapping (OS Landline), a<br />
digital elevati<strong>on</strong> model (OS Landline Profile), desktop assessment results and known sites from<br />
<strong>the</strong> NMR, HER and <strong>the</strong> RCAHMW air photo mapping project.<br />
1.7 Transects were walked at between 30m and 50m intervals depending up<strong>on</strong> local visibility and<br />
accessibility. Sites are recorded using a standard written format and hand-held GPS units. Checks<br />
are made in <strong>the</strong> field against those sites already known, including RCAHMW air photo mapping.<br />
C<strong>on</strong>straints & variati<strong>on</strong>s<br />
1.8 The start of <strong>the</strong> main fieldwork was in December 2008 and finished in March 2008. Heavy<br />
snow and frequent fog halted <strong>the</strong> survey. The unexpected discovery of a very high density of<br />
hollows in <strong>the</strong> rock outcrops, attributed to <strong>the</strong> military as shelters or foxholes and industrial<br />
quarries caused <strong>the</strong> survey to be c<strong>on</strong>ducted in two in order to catch up <strong>on</strong> entering <strong>the</strong> escalating<br />
amount of data <strong>on</strong> to <strong>the</strong> database.<br />
1.9 With <strong>on</strong>e or two excepti<strong>on</strong>s <strong>the</strong> entire area was walked with a mean line separati<strong>on</strong> of<br />
between 30m and 50m as required by <strong>the</strong> specificati<strong>on</strong>. The excepti<strong>on</strong>s to this were for reas<strong>on</strong>s<br />
of safety <strong>on</strong> extremely steep slopes. Where this was <strong>the</strong> case, a visual assessment from <strong>the</strong> top<br />
and bottom of <strong>the</strong> slope and from adjacent accessible slopes was made. In most, if not all cases,<br />
<strong>the</strong> very steepness of <strong>the</strong>se slopes would preclude significant past human activity.<br />

2.2 From experience of working in <strong>the</strong> higher mountains of Wales, n<strong>on</strong>-OS historic mapping has<br />
not been c<strong>on</strong>sulted due to difficulties in determining <strong>the</strong> locati<strong>on</strong> of depicted features <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
ground. This is because <strong>the</strong> precisi<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> original mapping is obviously unknown but also <strong>the</strong><br />
lack of landmarks makes attempts to georeference <strong>the</strong> material to modern mapping at best<br />
inaccurate. This in turn leads to uncertainty in <strong>the</strong> field, avoided by simply mapping all artificial<br />
structures during fieldwork.<br />

Assessment and compilati<strong>on</strong><br />
2.4 The NMR data for <strong>the</strong> survey area c<strong>on</strong>tained 121 records, of which twenty are Scheduled<br />
Ancient M<strong>on</strong>uments. A high proporti<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> NMR records in some areas were recently updated<br />
by Uplands survey or similar fieldwork, with good locati<strong>on</strong> informati<strong>on</strong> and descripti<strong>on</strong>s, but were<br />
m<strong>on</strong>uments unknown as yet to <strong>the</strong> HER.<br />
2.5 The HER data c<strong>on</strong>tained 320 records within or immediately adjacent to <strong>the</strong> survey area. The<br />
descripti<strong>on</strong> field in <strong>the</strong> HER was truncated for some entries due to <strong>the</strong> export format used by<br />
CPAT.<br />
2.6 It was sometimes not possible to locate sites <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> HER record. This could be because, as<br />
has been found previously, multiple records in <strong>the</strong> HER are in fact <strong>the</strong> same m<strong>on</strong>ument –<br />
transcribed from various epochs of early OS mapping with slightly different positi<strong>on</strong>s. From<br />
discussi<strong>on</strong> at <strong>the</strong> Uplands Forum February 2007 it was apparent this is a known occurrence (Bob<br />
Sylvester, pers. comm.). Some failures to locate sites could be explained by changes in c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s<br />
such as vegetati<strong>on</strong> cover.<br />
2.7 In several cases HER records were found to be vague, occasi<strong>on</strong>ally wr<strong>on</strong>g or incorrectly<br />
located; those by Palmer and J<strong>on</strong>es have in particular been found to warrant care in <strong>the</strong>ir use,<br />
quite often due to <strong>the</strong>ir failure to adequately differentiate between nearby m<strong>on</strong>uments.<br />
2.8 The 1st – 3rd Epoch OS maps were assimilated into <strong>the</strong> project GIS as georeferenced images,<br />
<strong>the</strong>n all m<strong>on</strong>uments, sites and former tracks & boundaries transferred to <strong>the</strong> initial sites record<br />
ahead of fieldwork. Where features existed <strong>on</strong> more than <strong>on</strong>e epoch of mapping, <strong>the</strong> latestmapped<br />
positi<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> feature was taken.<br />
HER data<br />
2.9 The HER data for this area proved to be of abnormally low quality for a variety of reas<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
One major issue that emerged late in <strong>the</strong> project is that <strong>the</strong> quality of <strong>the</strong> positi<strong>on</strong> stated in many<br />
of <strong>the</strong> records is open to questi<strong>on</strong> and this appears to have resulted in successive episodes of<br />
fieldwork appending to <strong>the</strong> record ra<strong>the</strong>r than updating c<strong>on</strong>tent. As a result, it has proved<br />
extremely difficult and occasi<strong>on</strong>ally impossible to be sure exactly which HER record applies to any<br />
given m<strong>on</strong>ument or locality in <strong>the</strong> field.<br />
2.10 Sec<strong>on</strong>d, having battled through this, it has become evident that some previous episodes of<br />
fieldwork have resulted in very different quality records. While this is inevitable in an<br />
accumulating record, <strong>the</strong> situati<strong>on</strong> becomes grave when <strong>the</strong> same m<strong>on</strong>ument is comprehensively<br />
but differently described in each record. This extends bey<strong>on</strong>d <strong>the</strong> descripti<strong>on</strong> to m<strong>on</strong>ument type<br />
classificati<strong>on</strong>s and hence <strong>the</strong> process of matching HER records to Uplands fieldwork records has<br />
proved an abnormally l<strong>on</strong>g-winded and c<strong>on</strong>voluted affair.<br />
2.11 The number of records in <strong>the</strong> database with form stated as ‘documents’ is proporti<strong>on</strong>ally<br />
larger than usual; to avoid <strong>the</strong>ir loss any that appear to be describing a locatable m<strong>on</strong>ument have<br />
been included. The certainty of <strong>the</strong>m being associated with <strong>the</strong>ir stated positi<strong>on</strong> is, however, low.<br />

Field survey<br />
Dates & pers<strong>on</strong>nel<br />
2.12 Fieldwork ran from February 2008 through to <strong>the</strong> beginning of March 2009. A number of<br />
days were partly or completely lost due to adverse wea<strong>the</strong>r c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
2.13 The entire pers<strong>on</strong>nel were drawn from ArchaeoPhysica Ltd. Within each team <strong>the</strong>re was a<br />
nominated First Aider and a mixture of people with varying experience. Graham Arnold oversaw<br />
health and safety and was resp<strong>on</strong>sible for data collecti<strong>on</strong> and collati<strong>on</strong> procedures.<br />
Equipment<br />
2.14 Each field team carried cameras and GPS units and each walker had a waterproof notebook<br />
and a laminated booklet of templates to guide recording. Detailed maps depicting known sites<br />
and all landscape details were carried.<br />
2.15 Individuals provided <strong>the</strong>ir own appropriate clothing. High visibility vests/jackets were worn<br />
and mountain safety gear and first aid kit were spread am<strong>on</strong>gst <strong>the</strong> team members.<br />
Technique<br />
2.16 The vast majority of <strong>the</strong> survey area was unenclosed heath and subsequently <strong>the</strong> open<br />
mountainside was surveyed according to <strong>the</strong> topography, e.g., a side of a valley at a time.<br />
Coverage was m<strong>on</strong>itored daily and no significant omissi<strong>on</strong>s were found. In areas of open<br />
grassland and peat bogs, traverses were up to 50m apart if <strong>the</strong>re was sufficiently clear visibility.<br />
2.17 Through previous experience it was known to be necessary to work with <strong>the</strong> landscape at<br />
all times to avoid undue exerti<strong>on</strong>. For this reas<strong>on</strong> fieldwork usually worked al<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>tours<br />
wherever possible, starting at <strong>the</strong> base of slopes and working uphill until about midday and <strong>the</strong>n<br />
returning downhill in <strong>the</strong> next swa<strong>the</strong> of country. In <strong>the</strong> low lying areas of thick marsh and peat<br />
bogs care was taken to ensure that <strong>the</strong>y were passable safely.<br />
2.18 For safety reas<strong>on</strong>s <strong>the</strong> fording of streams was avoided wherever possible, <strong>the</strong>se being used<br />
to bound survey areas instead.<br />
2.19 There were no reportable or n<strong>on</strong>-reportable injuries or near miss incidents.<br />
Records<br />
2.20 The overall rati<strong>on</strong>ale behind <strong>the</strong> formati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> record was to ensure <strong>the</strong> basic<br />
informati<strong>on</strong> was captured efficiently in <strong>the</strong> field, whilst allowing checking of previously known<br />
sites. As for previous surveys <strong>the</strong> emphasis was <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> collecti<strong>on</strong> of a total record regardless of<br />
whe<strong>the</strong>r a m<strong>on</strong>ument had been previously described.<br />
2.21 Record sheets carry <strong>the</strong> identity of <strong>the</strong> author and <strong>the</strong> date of survey to enable auditing,<br />
al<strong>on</strong>g with GPS unit ID and way-mark number as well as <strong>the</strong> recorded co-ordinates.<br />
2.22 Record fields such as ‘Broad Class’, ‘Form’, ‘C<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>’ and ‘Land Use’ were completed from<br />
lists of permitted field c<strong>on</strong>tents to minimise <strong>the</strong> chance of ambiguous records, using a template. A<br />
sketch of <strong>the</strong> m<strong>on</strong>ument was required where complex or unusual shapes or layouts existed. This<br />
was usually <strong>the</strong> case within quarry sites and composite sheepfolds.<br />
2.23 In general <strong>on</strong>e photograph was taken of each site, <strong>the</strong> excepti<strong>on</strong>s being where more than<br />
<strong>on</strong>e view of a site was felt necessary or where multiple sites appear <strong>on</strong> photographs. Occasi<strong>on</strong>ally<br />
poor light and o<strong>the</strong>r c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s prevented a photograph from being taken. Photographs were not<br />
always included in <strong>the</strong> case of <strong>the</strong> modern hollows dug into <strong>the</strong> scree slopes or modern quarries<br />
that had recently g<strong>on</strong>e out of use.<br />
2.24 M<strong>on</strong>uments within complexes were allocated ad hoc between team members with internal<br />
specialisms brought to bear. Larger complexes were recorded within specific field campaigns to<br />
avoid accidental omissi<strong>on</strong>s or duplicates.<br />

2.25 Find spot locati<strong>on</strong>s were checked for possible fur<strong>the</strong>r remains although <strong>the</strong> precisi<strong>on</strong> of<br />
<strong>the</strong>se meant that any fur<strong>the</strong>r finds were likely to be accidental. No fur<strong>the</strong>r finds were found at any<br />
of <strong>the</strong> given locati<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
Archive c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong>s<br />
2.26 The result of <strong>the</strong> field campaign is a set of waterproof notebooks. These are <strong>the</strong> original<br />
records, each record in which carries a unique ‘EN’ number.<br />
2.27 These records c<strong>on</strong>tain occasi<strong>on</strong>al sketches of sites, and <strong>the</strong>refore include more informati<strong>on</strong><br />
in some cases than can be c<strong>on</strong>veyed in <strong>the</strong> written record. However, <strong>the</strong>y also represent <strong>the</strong><br />
original primary record whereas <strong>the</strong> digital record c<strong>on</strong>tains corrected, augmented and updated<br />
data and <strong>the</strong>refore has precedence.<br />
2.28 In additi<strong>on</strong>, <strong>the</strong>re is a photographic archive in digital form and <strong>the</strong> NMR-compatible flat<br />
database required by <strong>the</strong> RCAHMW specificati<strong>on</strong>. Additi<strong>on</strong>al photographs showing general<br />
landscape views are c<strong>on</strong>tained in our archive.<br />
Data collati<strong>on</strong> & analysis<br />
2.29 The basic digital record was built in stages as <strong>the</strong> survey proceeded, permitting errors and<br />
queries to be caught in good time and reviews or repeat visits made where required.<br />
2.30 In each batch of data entry all records were given a unique ‘EN’ number as a temporary<br />
analogy to <strong>the</strong> NPRN to enable auditing. Each record was checked for omissi<strong>on</strong>s and obvious<br />
errors before being passed for initial data entry into <strong>the</strong> database.<br />
GIS formati<strong>on</strong><br />
2.31 To aid fieldwork planning and logistics in detail <strong>the</strong> database c<strong>on</strong>tent was available as a live<br />
layer in <strong>the</strong> project GIS throughout survey. All m<strong>on</strong>uments already recorded within <strong>the</strong> NMR, <strong>the</strong><br />
local HER, <strong>the</strong> AP mapping and those available from <strong>the</strong> desktop study were also available as GIS<br />
layers and <strong>the</strong> whole superimposed up<strong>on</strong> topographic mapping (OS Landline) and an elevati<strong>on</strong><br />
model (OS Landform Profile). To this was added access informati<strong>on</strong>, e.g., CRoW access/n<strong>on</strong>access<br />
land, negotiated access and o<strong>the</strong>r restricti<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
2.32 In additi<strong>on</strong>, a full virtual landscape was formed by draping detailed colour aerial<br />
photography <strong>on</strong>to <strong>the</strong> digital topographic model and overlaying this with streams, m<strong>on</strong>ument<br />
locati<strong>on</strong>s etc. The GIS <strong>the</strong>n permitted ‘fly-throughs’ to be performed with c<strong>on</strong>siderable logistical<br />
and practical benefit.<br />
2.33 The area covered was recorded each day within ano<strong>the</strong>r layer. With this it was possible to<br />
correlate <strong>the</strong> rate of coverage with <strong>the</strong> density of m<strong>on</strong>uments and <strong>the</strong> type of terrain and hence<br />
predict fairly accurately how much ground could be surveyed from <strong>on</strong>e day to <strong>the</strong> next. It also<br />
allowed for <strong>the</strong> planning of escape routes and identificati<strong>on</strong> of hazardous areas during <strong>the</strong><br />
allocati<strong>on</strong> of survey blocks.<br />
2.34 For all records altitude data was transferred automatically into <strong>the</strong> record from a surface<br />
generated from OS Landform Profile data.<br />
2.35 Where NMR or HER sites were records of multiple related m<strong>on</strong>uments, <strong>the</strong> relevant parts of<br />
<strong>the</strong> informati<strong>on</strong> were combined with individual site records. The NMR record was often used as<br />
<strong>the</strong> “parent” record for a complex, with “child” records being formed from informati<strong>on</strong> from field<br />
survey and <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r sources.<br />
Limiting factors<br />
2.36 The visibility of low-lying m<strong>on</strong>uments in peat country is severely limited by <strong>the</strong> presence of<br />
<strong>the</strong> peat itself and by <strong>the</strong> dense hea<strong>the</strong>r growth topping it in most places. The slopes of <strong>the</strong><br />
survey area suffered thick hea<strong>the</strong>r growth. An additi<strong>on</strong>al complicati<strong>on</strong> with this survey was several<br />
falls of snow during <strong>the</strong> fieldwork.<br />

2.37 The improved fields within <strong>the</strong> survey area have associated clearance cairns and piles of<br />
dumped st<strong>on</strong>e. However, some of <strong>the</strong>se may c<strong>on</strong>ceal earlier sites, such as prehistoric funerary<br />
m<strong>on</strong>uments.<br />
2.38 Many of <strong>the</strong> hilltop cairns have had shelters built <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong>m, masking <strong>the</strong> form of <strong>the</strong> earlier<br />
m<strong>on</strong>ument.<br />
2.39 The Brec<strong>on</strong> Beac<strong>on</strong>s are <strong>the</strong> scene of current military training. Evidence of this (in <strong>the</strong> form<br />
of shelters and hollows) was found during <strong>the</strong> survey. Pers<strong>on</strong>nel and ammuniti<strong>on</strong> may <strong>the</strong>refore<br />
have damaged and obscured earlier m<strong>on</strong>uments. Sites that were obviously very recently made<br />
were omitted from <strong>the</strong> final database due to <strong>the</strong> sheer number, specifically <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> eastern side of<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>Mynydd</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Llangynidr</str<strong>on</strong>g>, close to <strong>the</strong> B4650 where training was frequently taking place during <strong>the</strong><br />

Physical landscape<br />
Landscape form<br />
3.1 The survey area includes two ridges aligned roughly east-west. <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mynydd</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Llangynidr</str<strong>on</strong>g> to <strong>the</strong> east<br />
and Cefn yr Ystrad to <strong>the</strong> west. The bulk of <strong>the</strong> area is formed from a mass of Carb<strong>on</strong>iferous<br />
limest<strong>on</strong>e topped with a small amount of Millst<strong>on</strong>e Grit and <strong>the</strong> whole bedded up<strong>on</strong> Old Red<br />
Sandst<strong>on</strong>e.<br />
Soils and vegetati<strong>on</strong><br />
3.2 The area is characterised by slowly permeable wet very acid upland soils with a peaty surface.<br />
The vegetati<strong>on</strong> is moorland and heath with rough grazing and a little forestry. Valley bottoms<br />
tend to have dense carpets of old hea<strong>the</strong>r punctuated by areas of open st<strong>on</strong>y ground, some of it<br />
evidently till deposits.<br />
3.3 The lower slopes of <strong>the</strong> survey area have thick bracken cover which gives way to hea<strong>the</strong>r and<br />
<strong>the</strong>n short, unimproved grassland <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> tops. There were rocky outcrops around <strong>the</strong> tops of<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>Mynydd</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Llangynidr</str<strong>on</strong>g>. There were some improved fields in <strong>the</strong> northwestern corner of <strong>the</strong> survey<br />
area, close to P<strong>on</strong>tsticill reservoir which were pasture. There was also some woodland around <strong>the</strong><br />
borders of <strong>the</strong> area.<br />
Hydrology<br />
3.4 The streams that flow down <strong>the</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>astern slope of <strong>the</strong> survey area feed into <strong>the</strong> Dyffryn<br />
Crawn<strong>on</strong> in <strong>the</strong> valley bottom. The slopes towards <strong>the</strong> south of <strong>the</strong> area, below <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mynydd</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>Llangynidr</str<strong>on</strong>g> and Cefn yr Ystrad are particularly wet. Up<strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> plateaux <strong>the</strong>re were areas of peat<br />
and standing water, but at <strong>the</strong> time of survey <strong>the</strong>y were not impassable. The P<strong>on</strong>tsticill Reservoir<br />
is adjacent to <strong>the</strong> western boundary of <strong>the</strong> survey area and smaller reservoirs are located in <strong>the</strong><br />
southwestern and sou<strong>the</strong>astern corners of <strong>the</strong> survey area.<br />
3.5 The limest<strong>on</strong>e areas are densely populated with sinkholes of variable size and a number of<br />
caves are known within this material (<strong>the</strong> Chartists’ Cave being a famous example).<br />

Introducti<strong>on</strong><br />
Use of GIS<br />
4.1 At <strong>the</strong> analysis stage of <strong>the</strong> project GIS has been used to automate several labour-intensive<br />
tasks and to provide a powerful platform for spatial analysis. The data preparati<strong>on</strong> tasks for which<br />
GIS was used include:<br />
• Matching of surveyed m<strong>on</strong>uments with existing NMR & HER records by locati<strong>on</strong>, including<br />
morphing of HER tables into NMR format<br />
• Identificati<strong>on</strong> of m<strong>on</strong>uments not found during survey by locati<strong>on</strong><br />
• Automated inserti<strong>on</strong> of community and o<strong>the</strong>r regi<strong>on</strong>al details into <strong>the</strong> record<br />
• Capture of height data from <strong>the</strong> OS DEM<br />
• Automated extracti<strong>on</strong> of OS features and map generati<strong>on</strong><br />
• Generati<strong>on</strong> of an envir<strong>on</strong>mental model to assist with <strong>the</strong> provisi<strong>on</strong> of landscape c<strong>on</strong>text<br />
• Fusi<strong>on</strong> of NMR, HER, survey, aerial photographic and OS-derived data for analysis<br />
• Database management, NPRN enumerati<strong>on</strong> and table linking, etc.<br />
• Explorati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong>matic landscape encoding to faciliate ma<strong>the</strong>matical analysis of site locati<strong>on</strong>,<br />
etc.<br />
4.2 The <strong>the</strong>matic z<strong>on</strong>ing is currently being developed and at <strong>the</strong> moment c<strong>on</strong>sists of <strong>the</strong> survey<br />
area divided into 100m x 100m cells, each with an average height, slope, aspect and distance<br />
from water. Vegetati<strong>on</strong> cover is being added, based up<strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> fieldwork, as will be soil type.<br />
Between <strong>the</strong>se, <strong>the</strong>re should be sufficient informati<strong>on</strong> to examine what relati<strong>on</strong>ships exist<br />
between <strong>the</strong> presence or absence of m<strong>on</strong>uments, <strong>the</strong>ir locati<strong>on</strong> and type and situati<strong>on</strong>. Initial<br />
observati<strong>on</strong>s suggest str<strong>on</strong>g correlati<strong>on</strong>s do exist but whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y can be generalised and turned<br />
into a reliable predictive model has not yet been examined.<br />
4.3 In additi<strong>on</strong>, all of <strong>the</strong> analyses described below were c<strong>on</strong>ducted within <strong>the</strong> GIS for simplicity<br />
and to use <strong>the</strong> implicit spatial structure of <strong>the</strong> data to best advantage.<br />

5 Discussi<strong>on</strong><br />
Survey<br />
Coverage<br />
5.1 All <strong>the</strong> area originally allocated was covered. Coverage rates varied depending <strong>on</strong> terrain<br />
which varied from pasture to steep rocky slopes and hea<strong>the</strong>r-topped peat. Poor wea<strong>the</strong>r <strong>on</strong> some<br />
days also slowed progress as would be expected in this sort of envir<strong>on</strong>ment.<br />
5.2 The partly-eroded peat deposits and vegetati<strong>on</strong> may have masked features. However, <strong>the</strong><br />
peat was sufficiently deep to be ancient in its own right and <strong>the</strong>refore has significant palaeoenvir<strong>on</strong>mental<br />
potential, especially in <strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>rn part of <strong>the</strong> area (e.g. Pen March).<br />
Significant discoveries<br />
Land usage<br />
5.3 The dominant current land use is sheep grazing, shooting and open heath land. There are<br />
grouse <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> mountain tops and shooting butts were frequently observed. Some of <strong>the</strong> lower<br />
slopes of <strong>the</strong> open mountain side, particularly west of Cefn yr Ystrad had clearance cairns<br />
indicating that <strong>the</strong> land was <strong>on</strong>ce improved and has since been aband<strong>on</strong>ed. There were a handful<br />
of improved fields and a small amount of woodland around <strong>the</strong> edges of in <strong>the</strong> survey area too.<br />
Settlements<br />
5.4 The most widespread settlement was recorded at <strong>the</strong> bottom of <strong>the</strong> slopes to <strong>the</strong> south of<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>Mynydd</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Llangynidr</str<strong>on</strong>g> at SO 31400 16500 and SO 14800 16100, a sheltered valley above a large<br />
stream, <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> east and west sides of forestry. Ano<strong>the</strong>r similar settlement was also recorded at<br />
<strong>the</strong> source of <strong>the</strong> stream <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> north-facing slope of Carn Caws It comprised several l<strong>on</strong>g<br />
houses and huts and perhaps represents several periods of occupati<strong>on</strong>, <strong>the</strong> earliest perhaps being<br />
medieval.<br />
5.5 Shepherd’s huts were usually found close to sheepfolds or enclosures, although some were<br />
found in isolati<strong>on</strong>. Huts were occasi<strong>on</strong>ally found within or adjacent to quarries as well, or close to<br />
limekiln activity.<br />
5.6 Prehistoric settlement included hut circles <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> upper south-facing slope of Waun Rydd<br />
valley, <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> eastern side of a stream, though <strong>the</strong>se were not <strong>the</strong> <strong>on</strong>ly examples. Prehistoric<br />
occupati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> area was also indicated by <strong>the</strong> presence of cairns. Large cairns were located <strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> summit of Carn Caws, <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mynydd</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Llangynidr</str<strong>on</strong>g> and Cefn yr Ystrad and <strong>the</strong>se are sufficiently large<br />
to have been exploited later <strong>on</strong> as shelters, with hollows being dug into <strong>the</strong> centre. A similar<br />
large and mutilated cairn was located <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> ridge to <strong>the</strong> south of Cwm Nant-y-fedw at SO 20119<br />
26071. Examples of low barrows were recorded <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mynydd</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Llangynidr</str<strong>on</strong>g> and Waun Rydd, with<br />
some examples heavily overgrown and turfed over.<br />
Quarrying<br />
5.7 Areas of quarrying were recorded throughout <strong>the</strong> survey area and at all heights, but more so<br />
towards <strong>the</strong> tops of <strong>the</strong> ridges, where natural limest<strong>on</strong>e rock outcrops. The form of quarrying<br />
was mostly scoops cut laterally into <strong>the</strong> outcrop, with subterranean quarrying absent in <strong>the</strong> survey<br />
area. There were several disused modern quarries around <strong>the</strong> edges of <strong>the</strong> survey area,<br />
dem<strong>on</strong>strating <strong>the</strong> industrial heritage of <strong>the</strong> area. Most quarries recorded were undateable, but<br />
seem to relate to post-medieval activity. The larger complexes, sometimes a hundred metres<br />
across, were often located close toge<strong>the</strong>r to exploit a particular secti<strong>on</strong> of rock and were<br />
accompanied by tracks and buildings. A good example of this is around Blaen Onneu at SO<br />
15500 16800, where several widespread areas of quarrying occupy <strong>the</strong> same ridge, forming<br />
prominent landscape features.<br />

Tracks<br />
5.8 The vast majority of <strong>the</strong> tracks found were fairly modern and provided access to <strong>the</strong> quarries.<br />
O<strong>the</strong>r tracks were caused by modern agricultural activity and walkers’ access to local attracti<strong>on</strong>s<br />
such as <strong>the</strong> Chartist’s Cave at <strong>the</strong> centre of <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mynydd</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Llangynidr</str<strong>on</strong>g>. These were not recorded as <strong>the</strong>y<br />
were usually too modern to warrant a specific record. Many tracks are heavily obscured by<br />
vegetati<strong>on</strong> and <strong>the</strong>re were a variety of forms. Some were revetted with st<strong>on</strong>e walling ei<strong>the</strong>r<br />
downslope or upslope, some were simple ledges cut into <strong>the</strong> hillside or embanked up<strong>on</strong> it, and<br />
many were hollow ways. Of <strong>the</strong> latter many were faint depressi<strong>on</strong>s, but some were impressive<br />
cuttings as at SO 19197 24939, where <strong>the</strong> trackway is roughly 2 metres deep and 3 metres wide<br />
at <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> hollow. A few tracks, particularly al<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong> tops of <strong>the</strong> ridges, are still used by<br />
walkers due to <strong>the</strong> views, and for <strong>the</strong> same reas<strong>on</strong> may date back thousands of years. These<br />
tracks are usually simple worn paths ranging for kilometres and are frequently marked with<br />
cairns.<br />
Sheepfolds<br />
5.9 Sheepfolds were scattered throughout <strong>the</strong> area, varying markedly in size and shape. A<br />
complex <strong>on</strong>e including a 50 metre l<strong>on</strong>g central cell with four o<strong>the</strong>r cells inside was located at SO<br />
09667 011984. The amount and quality of c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> suggests it was <strong>on</strong>ce an element of a<br />
centralised system of sheep management with perhaps several owners sharing <strong>the</strong> resource.<br />
Recreati<strong>on</strong>al and clearance cairns<br />
5.10 Most of <strong>the</strong> cairns recorded were associated with trackways, and probably date to <strong>the</strong> post<br />
medieval period. Several of <strong>the</strong> summits in <strong>the</strong> area had piles of st<strong>on</strong>es made by modern day<br />
walkers. Recreati<strong>on</strong>al cairns were also found within defunct quarries where <strong>the</strong>re was plentiful<br />
waste material and around collapsed walls. The distributi<strong>on</strong> of recreati<strong>on</strong>al cairns <strong>the</strong>refore<br />
correlates with <strong>the</strong> distributi<strong>on</strong> of natural or reusable material. The <strong>on</strong>ly clearance cairns found<br />
during <strong>the</strong> survey were particularly large and near <strong>the</strong> improved fields in <strong>the</strong> south-western corner<br />
of <strong>the</strong> study area, <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> edge of P<strong>on</strong>tsticill reservoir. These clearance cairns probably date to<br />
between <strong>the</strong> post-medieval period to modern day and may have been created mechanically. The<br />
CPAT HER had many of <strong>the</strong>se clearance cairns attributed to prehistoric activity in <strong>the</strong> area of<br />
Waun Rydd valley.<br />
Shooting butts<br />
5.11 Shooting butts were most comm<strong>on</strong>ly found <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> eastern side of <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mynydd</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Llangynidr</str<strong>on</strong>g>, as<br />
<strong>the</strong>re is copious amounts of outcropping rock out of which to c<strong>on</strong>struct <strong>the</strong> butts. These varied in<br />
form between simple hollows in <strong>the</strong> scree slopes, single curved walls and complete circles. They<br />
face all directi<strong>on</strong>s, but usually with a good view of <strong>the</strong> heath.<br />
The correlati<strong>on</strong> of air photo transcripti<strong>on</strong>s to sites<br />
5.12 Elements that correlated well were quarries, some structures and most of <strong>the</strong> field<br />
boundaries, some of <strong>the</strong>se also correlating with field boundaries noted <strong>on</strong> 1st editi<strong>on</strong> OS mapping.<br />
The record was augmented by c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> details and identificati<strong>on</strong> of fur<strong>the</strong>r structural units.<br />
More ephemeral features like possible cultivati<strong>on</strong> or larger enclosures proved difficult to c<strong>on</strong>firm<br />
<strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> ground.<br />

6 Narrative summary and upland research <strong>the</strong>mes<br />
Prehistoric<br />
6.1 The earliest archaeological evidence in <strong>the</strong> survey area is attributed to <strong>the</strong> Br<strong>on</strong>ze Age. There<br />
were no sites recorded <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> HER or found during <strong>the</strong> survey that related to <strong>the</strong> Mesolithic or <strong>the</strong><br />
Neolithic period.<br />
6.2 The picture becomes a little clearer for <strong>the</strong> Br<strong>on</strong>ze Age. There are 97 records for this period,<br />
with possibly a fur<strong>the</strong>r seventeen. These sites include barrows, cairns, hut circles, enclosures and<br />
field boundaries. This is in c<strong>on</strong>trast to <strong>the</strong> Ir<strong>on</strong> Age, to which <strong>on</strong>ly six are attributed.<br />
Upland prehistoric settlement from <strong>the</strong> Mesolithic period <strong>on</strong>wards, <strong>on</strong>ly visible through<br />
artefact scatters around upland lakes<br />
6.3 No upland lakes were found in <strong>the</strong> survey area, but <strong>the</strong>re are three post-medieval or modern<br />
reservoirs. No artefact scatters were recorded during <strong>the</strong> survey.<br />
The identificati<strong>on</strong> of upland settlement remains from periods where <strong>the</strong>y are poorly<br />
represented, particularly <strong>the</strong> Br<strong>on</strong>ze Age and Early Medieval periods<br />
6.4 There is good potential for prehistoric settlement within <strong>the</strong> area covered by this survey<br />
project as generally speaking <strong>the</strong> topography is not rugged and <strong>the</strong>re is plenty of outcropping<br />
rock with which to build structures without <strong>the</strong> need to quarry into <strong>the</strong> bedrock. There were very<br />
few slopes in <strong>the</strong> area which were too steep or hazardous to negate settlement. Possible hut<br />
circles and a circular enclosure were found <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>rn slope of Waun Rydd valley, and<br />
prehistoric cairns were found <strong>on</strong> both. Some of <strong>the</strong> sites seem to have been reused in <strong>the</strong> postmedieval<br />
period to create sheepfolds and fur<strong>the</strong>r enclosures, something that is prevalent in <strong>the</strong>se<br />
hills.<br />
Prehistoric ritual landscapes and <strong>the</strong>ir relati<strong>on</strong>ships with c<strong>on</strong>temporary settlement<br />
6.5 The survey recorded a great number of cairns, but in many cases it was not possible to<br />
determine <strong>the</strong>ir date for certain. The definite prehistoric cairns were found throughout <strong>the</strong> survey<br />
area, including <strong>the</strong> summits of <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mynydd</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Llangynidr</str<strong>on</strong>g>, Carn Caws and Clo Cadno and <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> top of<br />
Cefn yr Ystrad. Generally it does not seem that <strong>the</strong>re is a particular correlati<strong>on</strong> between <strong>the</strong> siting<br />
of <strong>the</strong>se cairns and <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>temporary settlements. Cairns were generally <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> summits of <strong>the</strong><br />
mountains, with a good view of <strong>the</strong> cairns <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> uplands surrounding <strong>the</strong> site. Settlements were<br />
located mostly in <strong>the</strong> sheltered valley areas with a good supply of water and more fertile land. An<br />
excepti<strong>on</strong> could be <strong>the</strong> cairn at SO 12986 10787, which is located just north of a widespread<br />
prehistoric settlement <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> Waun Rydd valley. It has a number of small cairns <strong>on</strong> its west side<br />
overlooking <strong>the</strong> P<strong>on</strong>tsticill reservoir and <strong>on</strong> its east side close to a well worn trackway orientated<br />
nor<strong>the</strong>ast - southwest down <strong>the</strong> valley. The settlement appears to include several phases of<br />
occupati<strong>on</strong>, and it is not certain that <strong>the</strong> cairn is prehistoric.<br />
6.6 The impressi<strong>on</strong> overall is that prehistoric settlement must have been widespread but<br />
lightweight as <strong>the</strong>re are few significant traces of field systems or settlement. It is possible that<br />
<strong>the</strong> medieval and post medieval farmsteads occupied <strong>the</strong> same sites for purely geographical<br />
reas<strong>on</strong>s in which case <strong>on</strong>ly geophysical survey or excavati<strong>on</strong> could recover traces of prehistoric<br />
predecessors.<br />
Medieval<br />
6.7 There are thirty records for <strong>the</strong> medieval period. This is perhaps somewhat lower than it<br />
should be, as it is frequently difficult to date sheepfolds, quarries and banks and it seems more<br />
c<strong>on</strong>servative to offer a post-medieval or unknown date. The sites that have been recorded as<br />
medieval include platforms, settlements and field boundaries.<br />

Upland deserted settlements, particularly those of potential medieval date with cognisance of<br />
surrounding agricultural or storage features associated with <strong>the</strong> domestic buildings<br />
6.8 A few upland deserted settlements or farmsteads were recorded during <strong>the</strong> project, for<br />
instance <strong>the</strong> ruins located in <strong>the</strong> valley below <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mynydd</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Llangynidr</str<strong>on</strong>g>. Often air photo evidence is <strong>the</strong><br />
first indicator of potential remains and usually identifies elements of <strong>the</strong> associated field system.<br />
O<strong>the</strong>rwise, <strong>the</strong>se sites are discovered during systematic field visits to sheepfolds, where attenti<strong>on</strong><br />
needs to be paid to incorporated remains of earlier structures.<br />
The structure, comp<strong>on</strong>ents and phasing of field systems in upland areas with an eye to<br />
possible early dating of some enclosures, and <strong>the</strong> presence of encroachment<br />
6.9 There were many former boundary walls discovered which had collapsed into banks. They<br />
were located <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> north facing slopes of <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mynydd</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Llangynidr</str<strong>on</strong>g> and al<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong> top of Carn Caws<br />
and Clo Cadno but were often very heavily obscured by vegetati<strong>on</strong> or wea<strong>the</strong>r c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s. They<br />
are probably medieval or post-medieval. Early mapping can assist with dating post-medieval field<br />
systems but has been found to be of little use for earlier features. Associating field systems with<br />
date-specific structures and transport routes may be <strong>the</strong> <strong>on</strong>ly practical method of dating <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
Post medieval<br />
6.10 There are 316 (plus a possible fur<strong>the</strong>r twelve) records for <strong>the</strong> post medieval period,<br />
comprising almost half <strong>the</strong> records for <strong>the</strong> project. The period witnessed a dramatic increase in<br />
activity in <strong>the</strong> mountains as people of new skills and tools found gainful employment <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
slopes. There were still <strong>the</strong> shepherds with <strong>the</strong>ir huts, folds and dips, but <strong>the</strong> industrial revoluti<strong>on</strong><br />
signalled an improvement in quarrying techniques. Recreati<strong>on</strong>al shooting of course became<br />
widespread in upland areas during <strong>the</strong> 1800s.<br />
6.11 Most of <strong>the</strong> recorded sites were quarries and lime kilns, associated with spoil heaps and<br />
some buildings. The majority of <strong>the</strong> limekilns were surface kilns, heavily overgrown with waste<br />
heaps of burnt lime and charcoal material. There were some examples of well built st<strong>on</strong>e pot<br />
kilns, some freestanding mounds, o<strong>the</strong>rs dug into steep slopes. The loose waste material also<br />
inadvertently provided a material for walkers to c<strong>on</strong>struct recreati<strong>on</strong>al cairns out of.<br />
6.12 The shooting butts varied in form between single rubble walls, to crescent shaped circles,<br />
sometimes built out of older cairns.<br />
6.13 Very frequently observed sites in <strong>the</strong> survey area were hollows c<strong>on</strong>structed in <strong>the</strong> scree<br />
slopes. It was clear that while most were roughly built holes probably associated with modern<br />
military training, some were of far better c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> and had far superior views of <strong>the</strong> open<br />
mountainside. The latter were recorded as post medieval shooting butts, though of course, even<br />
some of <strong>the</strong> freestanding butts could be modern in date.<br />
The presence and extent of remains of rural industries in <strong>the</strong> uplands, particularly peat<br />
cutting, quarrying, rabbit farming and mining<br />
6.14 Quarrying for limest<strong>on</strong>e to produce lime is <strong>the</strong> main industry present in <strong>the</strong> survey area and<br />
was found throughout, though <strong>the</strong> extent of each quarry varied widely. O<strong>the</strong>r quarries were found<br />
to extract walling st<strong>on</strong>e or o<strong>the</strong>r building materials in <strong>the</strong> later periods. There were a number of<br />
modern disused quarries in <strong>the</strong> area surveyed, with partially tarmaced roads and access routes<br />
that had been recently blocked off. Evidence of extensive quarrying was found al<strong>on</strong>g outcrops,<br />
such as above <strong>the</strong> area of forestry between SO 14300, 16400 and 14800, 16900, with frequent<br />
scalloping of <strong>the</strong> hillside. The topography sometimes made it difficult to distinguish between<br />
natural scree and specific areas of industrial quarrying. There were numerous small scoops in <strong>the</strong><br />
slopes of most of <strong>the</strong> peaks and close to st<strong>on</strong>e wall boundaries such as at SO 16468 13732 where<br />
st<strong>on</strong>e for <strong>the</strong> wall was quarried <strong>on</strong>-site.<br />

6.15 Although a large percentage of <strong>the</strong> area surveyed was covered in peat of variable<br />
thickness, no examples of peat-cutting activity were visible but deep peat was not particularly<br />
comm<strong>on</strong> and didn’t exceed 1 metre deep in some places.<br />
The form and distributi<strong>on</strong> of extracti<strong>on</strong> landscapes and <strong>the</strong> associati<strong>on</strong> of defined mining<br />
areas and <strong>the</strong>ir mining features<br />
6.16 There was no mining recorded in <strong>the</strong> area, but <strong>the</strong> style of quarrying varied greatly. Often<br />
small individual scoops were recorded, particularly <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> slopes west of Pen Cerrig-calch. It is<br />
difficult to date <strong>the</strong>se scoops, but <strong>the</strong>y are likely to have been excavated for an extensive lime<br />
producing industry in <strong>the</strong> post-medieval period. Occasi<strong>on</strong>ally <strong>the</strong>y are located al<strong>on</strong>gside boundary<br />
walls and it is clear that <strong>the</strong>ir functi<strong>on</strong> was to provide walling material.<br />
6.17 There are several major centres of st<strong>on</strong>e extracti<strong>on</strong> in <strong>the</strong> survey area dating to <strong>the</strong> modern<br />
period, which have recently become disused. These may have had post-medieval origins,<br />
including <strong>the</strong> ridge of Blaen Onneu, with a number of limekilns and smaller quarries in <strong>the</strong> vicinity.<br />
On <strong>the</strong> western side of Merthyr Comm<strong>on</strong> below Cefn yr Ystrad, <strong>the</strong>re is reference in <strong>the</strong> CPAT<br />
HER 22147 to <strong>the</strong> ‘Baltic’ quarry which had signs of being extended and mechanised at a later<br />
date. These quarries are large scale and include quarry buildings and waste heaps clearly part of<br />
an organised industry and <strong>the</strong>ir locati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> outer edges of <strong>the</strong> Upland area suggests that<br />
<strong>the</strong>y were positi<strong>on</strong>ed for ease of access and transport al<strong>on</strong>g major tracks. Higher up <strong>the</strong> slopes, in<br />
<strong>the</strong> more remote locati<strong>on</strong>s areas of small scale scoops into <strong>the</strong> natural st<strong>on</strong>e outcrop might have<br />
earlier origins. They are somewhat disorganised when compared to <strong>the</strong> clearly post-medieval<br />
quarries and <strong>the</strong>y could, for example, be medieval.<br />
Modern<br />
6.18 There were 49 modern sites recorded, mainly associated with recreati<strong>on</strong>al walkers’ cairns.<br />
Modern shelters in <strong>the</strong> form of hollows in <strong>the</strong> scree slopes were often not recorded, due to <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
abundance and frequently in dense clusters. Besides this <strong>the</strong>re were multiple extensive quarries<br />
<strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> eastern and western extremities of <strong>the</strong> survey area which had recently become disused.<br />
There were also shelters and recreati<strong>on</strong>al cairns and a commemorative marker st<strong>on</strong>e associated<br />
with a Welsh Water filter house.<br />
6.19 There are two air crash sites within <strong>the</strong> area, <strong>on</strong>e, of Wellingt<strong>on</strong> bomber T2520 exists at SO<br />
09050 13750 where it crashed <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> 9 th December, 1940. The o<strong>the</strong>r, of a Vampire jet VV618<br />
exists at SO 09450 09650 where it crashed <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> 27 th October 1953.<br />

Agri-Industrial settlement patterns in c<strong>on</strong>texts where farming and industrial activity coalesce<br />
6.20 Similarities in c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> of some hearths and ovens inside domestic shepherds’ huts<br />
were shared with some of <strong>the</strong> lime kilns. Some limekilns were also very close to domestic<br />
settlement activity. This may suggest that small agricultural communities were involved in <strong>the</strong><br />
lime producing industry fur<strong>the</strong>r up <strong>the</strong> slopes and that <strong>the</strong>y may have produced some lime for use<br />
within <strong>the</strong>ir own community.<br />
The relati<strong>on</strong>ship of sites to woodland, where it exists and to identified deposits of peat and<br />
areas of peat extracti<strong>on</strong> or drainage<br />
6.21 The <strong>on</strong>ly areas of woodland in <strong>the</strong> survey area were <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> boundaries of <strong>the</strong> area.<br />
6.22 The area of woodland was not associated with peat extracti<strong>on</strong> in <strong>the</strong> area. Peat is<br />
widespread <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> survey area, but no examples of peat cutting were found during <strong>the</strong><br />
survey.<br />
Transport networks of all periods in relati<strong>on</strong> to <strong>the</strong> upland areas and <strong>the</strong> inter-regi<strong>on</strong>al<br />
implicati<strong>on</strong>s of <strong>the</strong>se, in particular extensive remains of upland trackways and early systems of<br />
roads and tramways with <strong>the</strong>ir associated infrastructure<br />
6.23 Most of <strong>the</strong> tracks in <strong>the</strong> survey area are difficult to date and were often still in use until<br />
recently to access quarries or by modern walkers. However, due to <strong>the</strong> wear <strong>on</strong> some of <strong>the</strong><br />
tracks and <strong>the</strong> existence of a number of possible prehistoric cairns al<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong> route, it is likely that<br />
some of <strong>the</strong> tracks have been used over a l<strong>on</strong>g period of time and may date back as far as <strong>the</strong><br />
prehistoric period. Some of <strong>the</strong> quarry tracks could date to <strong>the</strong> medieval or post-medieval period,<br />
but have been updated and maintained for more recent use.<br />
6.24 Some tracks were probably established for accessing shooting butts, as <strong>the</strong>se are a<br />
comm<strong>on</strong> feature particularly <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> eastern side of <strong>the</strong> area where <strong>the</strong>re is copious outcropping<br />
rock and easy access to <strong>the</strong> relatively flat areas. These might account for some of <strong>the</strong> more<br />
ephemeral track.<br />
6.25 The tracks and paths that run al<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong> top of both ridges are likely to have been in use<br />
since antiquity. Prehistoric cairns and mounds are located <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> ridges and peaks, but <strong>the</strong> paths<br />
are also denoted by marker cairns (which are probably of various dates). No boundary st<strong>on</strong>es<br />
marking track were located during <strong>the</strong> survey, with <strong>the</strong> abundance of loose limest<strong>on</strong>e scree<br />
probably making small cairns an easier way to mark <strong>the</strong> tracks.<br />

Envir<strong>on</strong>mental potential<br />
7.1 The extent of pollen sampling already carried within <strong>the</strong> area is unknown at <strong>the</strong> time of <strong>the</strong><br />
survey. Pollen sampling could be worthwhile in <strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>rn area of <strong>the</strong> site, particularly at SO<br />
14500, 13750 and SO 08500 11500, where extensive peat bogs exist, up to at least 1m in depth.<br />
Very little settlement activity was found in <strong>the</strong>se areas. Beneath <strong>the</strong> peat in this area <strong>the</strong>re is <strong>the</strong><br />
possibility of relict soils. A specialist would be needed to target fur<strong>the</strong>r sampling most effectively.<br />
Recommendati<strong>on</strong>s<br />
Documentary resource & NMRW<br />
7.2 Explore improved areas with geophysics to see what <strong>the</strong> potential would be to locate<br />
ploughed-down m<strong>on</strong>uments in <strong>the</strong>se areas.<br />
7.3 If <strong>the</strong> AP resource for <strong>the</strong>se upland areas could be shared as geo-referenced images <strong>the</strong>n<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir inclusi<strong>on</strong> in a GIS would be straightforward. The informati<strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>tained (vegetati<strong>on</strong> and<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r surface details, not just archaeology) would benefit field survey.<br />
Fur<strong>the</strong>r study<br />
7.4 There is potential for a combinati<strong>on</strong> of aerial photography and geophysical survey <strong>on</strong><br />
improved ground to inform up<strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> apparent loss of m<strong>on</strong>uments. Traces of m<strong>on</strong>uments invisible<br />
to <strong>the</strong> eye at ground level may be visible from <strong>the</strong> air in certain c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s and geophysical survey<br />
could reveal aspects that were never visible. It is generally supposed that sites, such as<br />
prehistoric settlements, are potentially lost as ground is improved but <strong>the</strong> extent to which this<br />
occurs is not known.<br />
