Uplands Initiative – <strong>Banc</strong> y <strong>Celyn</strong> 20083.3.5 PlatformsEarthwork platforms are the most common form of settlement type encountered in the<strong>Banc</strong> y <strong>Celyn</strong> Area. Such platforms are generally thought to be of medieval date and torepresent the sites of timber framed buildings, including dwellings. The absence of anysurface evidence for such structures means that only archaeological excavation canproperly identify the true character of these sites.Prior to the 2009 survey, platforms had been recorded as part of the Cwmhindda DRS(NPRN 275640) and several could also be identified from the regional HER;Pant y Llyn Hill, Earthwork Platform II - NPRN 247046 (PRN 80011)Cwmhindda, Earthwork Platform III - NPRN 247061 (PRN 80009)Waun Hirwaun, Earthwork Platform, II - NPRN 247139 (PRN 80015)The previously known platforms are found at the northern end of the study area. During2009, the number of platforms recorded in the area increased significantly, and included2 platforms found at Pant yr Hufen, in the southeastern corner of the area. In total,records for 18 new platforms were entered into the NMR for the first time, although thisincludes the platforms for the Cwmhindda DRS, which had not been describedindividually before. These 18 sites are:• Pant y Llyn Hill, Earthwork III - NPRN 247066: A small cross-contour platform,measuring 3.5m x 2.5m.• Pant y Llyn Hill, Earthwork Platform V - NPRN 247068: Small, cross-contourplatform, measuring 7.5m long x 3m wide.• Waun Hirwaun, Earthwork Platform I - NPRN 247258: A cross-contourplatform measuring 7m x 3.5m.• Pant y Llyn Hill, Earthwork Platform I - NPRN 247045: A platform terracedparallel to the contour, measuring 7.5m x 4m.• Beili Helyg, Earthwork Platform II - NPRN 247302: A cross-contour platform,measuring 13m x 5m. It sits at the northern end of enclosure NPRN 247301.• Pant yr Hufen, Earthwork Platform II - NPRN 247363: A cross-contourplatform measuring 14m x 6m.• Beili Helyg, Earthwork Platform IV - NPRN 247303: A cross-contour platformmeasuring 12m x 5.5m.• Beili Helyg, Earthwork Platform I - NPRN 247294: A platform cut parallel to thecontour, measuring 6m x 3m.• Cwmhindda, Earthwork Platform IV - NPRN 247065: A platform cut parallel tothe contour, measuring c.9m north-south x 4m. Part of the Cwmhindda DRS.• Pant y Llyn, Platform I - NPRN 247035: A cross-contour platform, measuring16.5m x 8m wide. Forms a platform pair with NPRN 247036.• Beili Helyg, Earthwork Platform III - NPRN 247300: A cross-contour platform,measuring 14m x 8m.• Pant y Llyn, Platform II - NPRN 247036: A cross-contour platform, measuring8.5m x 3.25m wide. Forms a platform pair with NPRN 247035.• Pant yr Hufen, Earthwork Platform I - NPRN 247311: A cross-contour platformmeasuring 11.25m x 4m.• Pant y Llyn Hill, Earthwork Platform III - NPRN 247048: A platform cutparallel to the contour, measuring 7m x 4.5m.51
