Volume 7 Number 3 Summer 2018 The Journal of The Bewick Society DR. IAIN STUART BAIN (1934-2018) President of the Bewick Society Printing with Iain Bain at the Wordsworth Trust, April 2015. It is with great sadness that we learned of the death after a remembered more recently by the Daily Telegraph as “a former period of illness of Iain Bain, President of the Bewick Society. Scottish hammer throw champion who became a printer and Iain was the great modern authority on the life and work of book designer. He was also an authority on the English Thomas Bewick. Indeed in the two centuries since his lifetime, wood engraver and natural historian Thomas Bewick.” no-one has contributed as much to our knowledge, (http://bit.ly/2t55qOS ) In a similar vein the Glasgow Herald understanding and appreciation of Thomas Bewick. described him as “the youngest of a golden generation of Honoured in 2003 with a Degree of Doctor of Civil Laws Scottish hammer throwers of the era.” ( http://bit.ly/2MppEvA ) by Northumbria University, he was a central figure in the See also Salon , the Newsletter of the Society of Antiquaries in establishment of Cherryburn.

Fila Rufeinig Abermagwr Abermagwr Roman Villa
Fila Rufeinig Abermagwr Abermagwr Roman villa Cedwir yr hawlfraint/Copyright reserved NPRN 405315 Mae archaeolegwyr sy’n gweithio i’r Comisiwn Brenhinol yn credu iddynt ddod o hyd i fila Rufeinig dan gae yn Abermagwr ger Aberystwyth. Nid oes yr un fila Rufeinig yn hysbys yng Ngheredigion ar hyn o bryd, na’r un mor bell i’r gogledd a’r gorllewin yng Nghymru. Archaeolegwyr-o’r-awyr o Brifysgol Caergrawnt ym 1979 oedd y cyntaf i sylwi ar ôl cnydau lloc anarferol. Dangosodd awyrluniau newydd gan y Comisiwn Brenhinol yn 2006 fod yno loc mawr a chymhleth a bod fferm amddiffynedig o’r Oes Haearn gerllaw. Ysgogodd hynny gynnal arolwg geoffisegol yn 2009. Dangosodd hwnnw sylfeini’r hyn sydd, yn fwy na thebyg, yn fila Rufeinig â ‘choridor adeiniog’ a godwyd rhwng OC 78 ac OC 400. Archaeologists working for the Royal Commission believe they have discovered a buried Roman villa near Aberystwyth, at Abermagwr. There are no Roman villas currently known in Ceredigion, and none this far north or west in Wales. Cropmarks of an unusual enclosure were first recognised by aerial archaeologists from Cambridge University in 1979. New aerial photography in 2006 by the Royal Commission revealed a large and complicated enclosure, with an Iron Age defended farm nearby. This prompted a geophysical survey in 2009 which revealed the buried footings of what is probably a ‘winged-corridor’ Roman villa, built between AD 78 and AD 400. Chwith: Arolwg geoffisegol fila Abermagwr gan David Hopewell, Ymddiriedolaeth Archaeolegol Gwynedd, ar gyfer y Comisiwn Brenhinol.

Newsletter June 2008
Living History. NEWSLETTER JUNE 2008 Nature Jottings Whereas in previous years the call of the cuckoo was heard across the parish in the early days of May, this year it has been much less vocal though it has been heard as early as 4.30 am by a few ‘early birds’. Tawny owls were known to be nesting in the bell tower. Evidence of this came in the form of a tawny owl chick found on the floor of the tower. It was put back into the nest at the very top of the tower - above the bells. Another chick was seen to be in the nest at that time. Unfortunately, two days later, it was back on the floor and the advice received was to leave it where it was and let nature take its course. The next day it was found dead. However, it did prove that tawny owls are still in residence. Living History June 2008 1 Weather damage It is thought that during a recent rainstorm there must have been a ‘localised disturbance in the weather pattern’ (we are not saying tornado) which caused damage to one of David Niblett’s barns. Happy Birthday to the Village Shop In April, the Community Shop, which was established by villager shareholders in 2005, reached its third birthday and celebrated with a cake (pictured above). Living History June 2008 2 Monumental Inscriptions in Yarpole Burial Ground The complete list of the inscriptions recorded in April 2007 has now been typed up in two formats – one for the Church with index of names and a map, one for the Herefordshire Family History Society and the Record Office. -
The Relationship Between Iron Age Hill Forts, Roman Settlements and Metallurgy on the Atlantic Fringe
The Relationship between Iron Age Hill Forts, Roman Settlements and Metallurgy on the Atlantic Fringe Keith Haylock BSc Department of Geography and Earth Sciences Supervisors Professor John Grattan, Professor Henry Lamb and Dr Toby Driver Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the award of degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Aberystwyth University 2015 0 Abstract This thesis presents geochemical records of metalliferous enrichment of soils and isotope analysis of metal finds at Iron Age and Romano-British period settlements in North Ceredigion, Mid Wales, UK. The research sets out to explore whether North Ceredigion’s Iron Age sites had similar metal-production functions to other sites along the Atlantic fringe. Six sites were surveyed using portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF), a previously unused method in the archaeology of Mid Wales. Also tested was the pXRF (Niton XLt700 pXRF) with regard to how environmentally driven matrix effects may alter its in situ analyses results. Portable x-ray fluorescence was further used to analyse testing a range of certified reference materials (CRM) and site samples to assess target elements (Pb, Cu, Zn and Fe) for comparative accuracy and precision against Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for both in situ and laboratory sampling. At Castell Grogwynion, one of the Iron Age sites surveyed recorded > 20 times Pb enrichment compared to back ground values of 110 ppm. Further geophysical surveys confirmed that high dipolar signals correlated to the pXRF Pb hotspots were similar to other known Iron Age and Roman period smelting sites, but the subsequent excavation only unearthed broken pottery and other waste midden development. -

Llifogydd Llandre Fel Sawl Lle Arall Cafodd Llandre Ei Chyfran O Gyffro Ddydd Sul 21 Ionawr, Pan Orlifodd Y Nant Drwy’R Pentref
PAPUR BRO GENAU’R-GLYN, MELINDWR, TIRYMYNACH, TREFEURIG A’R BORTH PRIS 75c | Rhif 406 | Chwefror 2018 Gwobr Lledu’r ffordd Miriam i Osian yn seren y Panto t.7 t.19 t.18 Llifogydd Llandre Fel sawl lle arall cafodd Llandre ei chyfran o gyffro ddydd Sul 21 Ionawr, pan orlifodd y nant drwy’r pentref. Roedd hi wedi bod yn bwrw’n drwm ers oriau, ond doedd dim arwydd bod unrhyw beth anarferol ar droed tan amser cinio. Toc wedi un o’r gloch y cychwynnodd hi, wrth i ormod o ddŵr arllwys i lawr y ceunant i lifo o dan borth y fynwent. Ymhen dim, roedd y dŵr yn rhuthro i lawr lôn fach yr eglwys, yn chwalu’r gornel ac yn sgubo i lawr y ffordd tua’r rheilffordd. Roedd yn anodd credu nerth y dŵr – boncyffion a cherrig oedd yn rhy drwm i’w codi, yn cael eu llusgo gyda’r llif i lawr drwy’r pentref. Mae dau foncyff mawr a gariwyd gan y dŵr wedi eu gosod y tu allan i Dolgelynen, os hoffech brawf o’i rym! Mae’n brawf o gymeriad y gymuned y daeth cymaint at ei gilydd y prynhawn hwnnw i geisio atal y dŵr rhag niweidio tai ac eiddo. Does dim diben ceisio enwi pawb a fu wrthi’n clirio sianel y nant, yn dargyfeirio’r dŵr ac yn gosod bagiau tywod a chloddiau pridd i arbed y dŵr rhag llifo i gartrefi, heb sôn am glirio’r llanast a adawodd yn ei sgil. Digon yw dweud y cafwyd cymorth gan drigolion o bob cwr o’r pentref yn ogystal â ffermwyr ac eraill sy’n byw ar gyrion Llandre. -

University Microfilms 300 North Zaeb Road Ann Arbor
INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
