Day 4 - Sunday 23rd August

A very interesting day. A happy band of 12 workers met up at The Neuadd. Initially we explored further the possible site of a chapel of ease. The evidence for this site is mainly folk memory with three enticing place names. In 1809 the antiquarian Theophilus Jones reported this as a pile of stones, and so the mystery continues and perhaps tomorrow we will get a few answers.

After a very civilised coffee break we split into three teams and set out field walking. Each group was able to report at least one site that was hitherto unrecorded by the end of the afternoon. There are several places which warrant closer examination and this will take place on Monday. Those without a head for heights, or weak legs need not apply.

On the other hand, if you are a "digger" there will be a job for you tomorrow!

For Monday's session, meet at the car park opposite the village hall at 9.30, or at The Neuadd at about 10.00. See yesterdays blog for directions. Thanks are due to the householders and landowner at the site for their tolerance and support.
