  • Maesyfelin Chambered Tomb, St Lythans

    Maesyfelin Chambered Tomb, St Lythans

    Great Archaeological Sites in the Vale of Glamorgan 1. MAESYFELIN CHAMBERED TOMB, ST LYTHANS Although there had been Mesolithic hunter-gatherers in the Vale for millennia, the introduction of farming in the Neolithic period led to a new relationship between the land and the people who lived in it. The need to stay in one place long enough to plant seeds, look after the growing crops and bring in the harvest resulted in the creation of permanent settlements, and although very few Neolithic houses have been discovered so far in Wales do have the houses built in stone for the dead. These are known as chambered tombs. One chambered tomb stands in the valley of the River Waycock near Maesyfelin Farm outside the village of St Lythans (ST 1009 7230), from which it takes two of the names it is known by. The other is Gwal y Filiast – ‘the kennel of the greyhound bitch’, a name also given to another chambered tomb in Carmarthenshire. A large capstone perches on top of three megalithic uprights which form three sides of a short rectangle, all of the local mudstone. The other side is open. Originally this chamber stood within the eastern end of a long mound which extended westwards behind the upright that closes it off at the back, but very little now remains. There is however enough left to show that a shallow forecourt created a recess at the mound’s eastern end in front of the chamber. Although this tomb has never been properly excavated, human remains and pottery were found in 1875 in the forecourt area, presumably lying where they had been cleared out of the chamber.

    Early Neolithic Enclosures in Wales: a Review of the Evidence in Light of Recent Discoveries at Caerau, Cardiff

    The Antiquaries Journal, page 1 of 26 © The Society of Antiquaries of London, 2017 doi:10.1017⁄s0003581517000282 EARLY NEOLITHIC ENCLOSURES IN WALES: A REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE IN LIGHT OF RECENT DISCOVERIES AT CAERAU, CARDIFF Oliver Davis and Niall Sharples, FSA, with a contribution from Jody Deacon Oliver Davis, School of History, Archaeology and Religion, University of Cardiff, John Percival Building, Colum Drive, Cardiff CF10 3EU, UK. Email: [email protected] Niall Sharples, FSA, School of History, Archaeology and Religion, University of Cardiff, John Percival Building, Colum Drive, Cardiff CF10 3EU, UK. Email: [email protected] Causewayed enclosures have recently been at the forefront of debate within British and European Neolithic studies. In the British Isles as a whole, the vast majority of these monuments are located in southern England, but a few sites are now beginning to be discovered beyond this core region. The search in Wales had seen limited success, but in the 1990s a number of cropmark discoveries suggested the presence of such enclosures west of the River Severn. Nonetheless, until now only two enclosures have been confirmed as Neolithic in Wales – Banc Du (in Pembrokeshire) and Womaston (in Powys) – although neither produced more than a handful of sherds of pottery, flint or other material culture. Recent work by the authors at the Iron Age hillfort of Caerau, Cardiff, have confirmed the presence of another, large, Early Neolithic causewayed enclosure in the country. Excavations of the enclosure ditches have produced a substantial assemblage of bowl pottery, comparable with better-known enclosures in England, as well as ten radiocarbon dates.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Planning Policy Wales [PPW] (Fourth edition, 2011) requires Local Development Plans [LDPs] sustainable settlement strategies to be informed by an assessment of settlements to ensure they accord with the sustainable location principles contained within national planning policy (see PPW Section 4.6 Sustainable settlement strategy: locating new development). 1.2 As part of the evidence base for the Vale of Glamorgan LDP, the Council has undertaken an audit of services and facilities within the Vale of Glamorgan’s settlements in order to identify those which are potentially suitable to accommodate additional development in terms of their location, role and function. This assessment therefore forms part of the evidence base for the Vale of Glamorgan LDP Settlement Hierarchy by identifying broad groupings of settlements with similar roles and functions based upon the following research objectives: Objective 1: To assess the need for residents to commute beyond their settlement to access key employment, retail and community facilities (including education and health). Objective 2: To measure the general level of accessibility of settlements by sustainable transport.
