The day started with the news (uhum, slight bombshell) that having fitted the landscape to the map yesterday, the map was not the correct one for the area. This illustrates how it is really easy to "find" exactly what you are looking for if you try hard enough. This is not the setback it might seem as we had identified enough targets to demonstrate that the landscape at Pwyll Court and Court Farm has changed over a period of time, and that features have been found that are worthy of recording for their own sake.
Today was spent making records of ten features, mainly agricultural, that would have been overlooked and possibly lost in time. Our "finds" include a decorated stone gate post, several platforms and lynchets, remains of stone walls, a track and possibly a stone building. These will be reported to CPAT for the HER.
Later in the day we travelled up the valley to look for the more obvious sites and to get a "feel" for the terrain. Those who had not travelled this way before were amazed at the beauty and peacefulness of the valley. It is timeless.
On Sunday we will be working at the Neuadd. Meet 9.30 at village car park or 9.50ish at the Neuadd. Take the south side road up the Dyffryn. Just past the junction where the road returns along the north side of the valley turn in left and park near first cottage. You will see the blue truck.
