Ten intrepid souls braved the morning showers and recorded a platform and barn at The Neuadd. After lunch some of the group ranged further afield and came back with that grin that tells you they have found something special. A series of platforms between the branches of a fast flowing stream could be anything, but we are hoping for a mill site. We will get this checked out next week.
On the subject of mills there is a reference to the Lord's mill in the manorial survey and another about 1km downstream from it on the Crawnon. Late in the afternoon a party set off to see what remains of these sites. At this time it is inconclusive, but again warrants further investigation and can be looked into.
The project has a two day break and will resume on Thursday. I would like to thank all those who have come along this week. Your input has been invaluable. I will put a notice in place on Wednesday when Jemma has decided the priorities for next week.
Breaking news - we have a volunteer who specialises in geophysics who will be working with us for a few days next week. Perhaps we can locate that illusive castle that Castle Road is named after (or kill the myth altogether!)
