Uplands Initiative – <strong>Banc</strong> y <strong>Celyn</strong> 20086. RecommendationsThe following lists highlight those sites which might be suitable for further analysis,inclusion on future Ordnance Survey maps and palaeoenvironmental analysis.6.1 Detailed site analysisIt is recommended that the following sites are considered for detailed analysis andsurvey:NPRN 305776 Cornel Uchaf Circular Enclosure; This large enclosure is a SAM, andclearly a site of some significance. However, there is a divergence of opinion as to itsdate. Cadw have it scheduled as a Prehistoric Enclosure. It was originally recorded as apossible funerary and ritual site by CPAT but has been reassessed and is now recordedin the HER as a Post Medieval Enclosure. Clearly a detailed topographical survey andclose analysis of the surface evidence is required to help make a clearer assessment ofwhat the true nature of this site might be. The 2009 visit to the site was undertaken inJanuary, when there was little vegetation and it is recommended that any survey wouldbe best carried out during the winter months, as the site would usually be obscured bybracken between May and November.NPRN 247190 Twyn y Post Round Barrow; This site has been described as aHengiform Monument and Ring Cairn by previous workers and is a SAM. Cadw havescheduled the site as part of a complex known as the Twyn y Post Cairns (BR203), andhave described this monument as a Ring Cairn. CPAT have recorded the site as aNeolithic Henge (PRN 4066), whilst the RCAHMW’s <strong>Brecknockshire</strong> Inventory alsodescribes the site as a Ring Cairn (RC 235, p.120). This site is very similar to that at Tiryr Onnen, Ystradfellte, recorded in the Inventory under RC107, p.93, and described as a“hengiform monument” as well as a “barrow” (caption for plate on p.94). This is anexample of what appears to be a rare and evidently poorly understood prehistoricmonument type and is deserving of a detailed survey.6.2 Sites for inclusion on Ordnance Survey mappingThe following sites are recommended for consideration;NPRN 247301NPRN 247302NPRN 275641NPRN 247139NPRN 247069NPRN 247015NPRN 275624NPRN 247224NPRN 247198Beili Helyg EnclosureBeili Helyg Platform IIHendy Long Hut I (SAM)Waun Hirwaun Platform IIPant y Llyn Hill LonghousePwll Du Boundary Stone VIIBailey Bach Chambered Tomb (SAM)Nantyroffeiriad Fawr CairnCefn Gledwen Cairn II75
