  • Coin Register 2006
    COIN REGISTER 2006 EDITED BY MARTIN ALLEN, PHILIP DE JERSEY AND IAN LEINS THE Coin Register provides a platform for the publication of unusual and remarkable single coin finds from Britain and Ireland. All Celtic, pre-conquest Roman, Roman silver prior to AD 64, Roman gold and late Roman silver coins from the fourth century onwards are welcomed, as are Anglo-Saxon, Norman or Plantagenet coins and their continental contemporaries (down to and including the Cross-and-Crosslets (Tealby) type of Henry II), and most later medieval continental coins. However, coins outside these categories will still be considered for their numismatic inter- est. As always, the essential criterion for inclusion will be that the coin is new, by virtue of either being newly found or (if previously discovered) being hitherto unpublished. Single finds from archaeological excavations may be included if it seems that there would otherwise be a consider- able delay in publication. The listing of Celtic coins in the Coin Register is earned out in association with the Celtic Coin Index at the Institute of Archaeology, Oxford (http://web.arch.ox.ac.uk/coins/ccindex.htm). Celtic material should therefore be sent in the first instance to Dr Philip de Jersey, Institute of Archaeology, 36 Beaumont Street, Oxford 0X1 2PG ([email protected]). Finds of Greek and Roman coins should be notified to Ian Leins, Finds Adviser, Iron Age and Roman coins, Portable Antiquities Scheme, c/o Department of Coins and Medals, British Museum, London WC1B 3DG (,[email protected]). Other material should be sent to Dr Martin Allen, Department of Coins and Medals, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge CB2 1RB ([email protected]).

    Barry Bathing Waters Strategy Coastal Modelling as an Integrated Design Tool Nick Barcock - Hyder Consulting Introduction A principal focus of the AMP3 Wastewater Improvement Programme in South East Wales is the achievement of compliance with the Guideline Standards of the EU Bathing Water Directive at the three designated bathing waters at Barry. This is a task that is both large and complex. The highly developed nature of the area, which includes the whole Cardiff conurbation, together with the extreme tidal conditions in the Severn Estuary mean that numerous major continuous urban wastewater discharges and several hundred combined sewer overflows (CSOs) in addition to many more naturally occurring inputs have the potential to impact upon the Barry bathing waters. It was in recognition of the these issues that AMEC, who is Dwr Cymru Welsh Water’s Capital Alliance Partner in South East Wales responsible for delivery of the capital programme, conceived of, and created, the Virtual Design House (‘The Welsh Water Capital Alliance ‘Virtual Design House’; Mike Jones (AMEC), WaPUG Presentation Nov 2002). The Virtual Design House (VDH) comprises the amalgamated resources of four consultants in South Wales (Arup, Black & Veatch Consulting, Hyder Consulting and Montgomery Watson Harza), AMEC, Black and Veatch Contracting and United Utilities Operational Services. The VDH can also call upon the international resources and expertise of these global organisations as-and-when required. A cornerstone of the strategy for addressing the issues associated with the Barry bathing waters was the construction of a detailed two dimensional hydrodynamic and dispersion model of the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary.

BA~Rr Is~.a~'v lies off the northern coast of the Bristol Channel, about 7 miles south-west of Cardiff. Until the year 1884 it was separated from the mainland by ~he tidal estuary of the Cadoxton River on its northern side, and on the east by a tract covered at high water, but in which the solid rock cropped up through the tidal ~ deposits at frequent intervals, the most conspicuous prominences being known as the Coston, Mark, Bendrick, and Black Rocks. In the absence of evidence to the contrary we may assume that the course followed by the river at this time was its original course, for it falls into the general south-westerly direction of the rest of the valley. The numerous outcrops of rock, moreover, in the tidal area east of the island make it unlikely that there was an outlet here of sufficient depth to drain the marshes behind it.

  • To 17Th Century Settlement Sites in South Glamorgan
    The ceramic evidence for economic life and networks from 12th- to 17th century settlement sites in South Glamorgan Alice Forward PhD in Archaeology School of History, Archaeology and Religion Cardiff University December 2013 Summary Using well stratified ceramic assemblages from eight settlements across South Glamorgan this thesis places archaeology at the centre of interpretations of medieval and early post-medieval economic networks in this area. Comparative analysis and the contextualisation of the material have enabled archaeological evidence to develop new ways of understanding and interpreting the region during the 12th to the 17th centuries. Chapter 3 re-evaluates previous studies of the local ceramics, Vale Ware, and conducts further petrographic analysis on sherds from excavations at Llandaff Cathedral School, Cosmeston and Kenfig. Chapters 4 and 5 are detailed studies of the medieval and early post-medieval ceramic assemblage from Cosmeston. They discuss the contextual significance of the ceramics from the manor and its associated settlement and the changes that affected the manorial estate over 500 years. Chapter 6 focuses on assemblages from the small town, Cowbridge. This chapter develops ideas concerning the role of markets and fairs as central trading places in South Glamorgan. Chapter 7 looks at six comparative case studies: rural settlements at Barry, Sully and Rumney, the towns of Cardiff and Kenfig and the ecclesiastical centre at Llantwit Major. By comparing the assemblages from these sites to both Cosmeston and Cowbridge, i | P a g e interpretations are further developed on the role settlements had within the local and wider regional economic networks. The results emphasise the importance of the Bristol Channel to the movement of goods and people in South Glamorgan.

Introduction 1.1 The purpose of this background paper is to provide information on the Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan (LDP) candidate site assessment process. The document will be used as evidence to support the Councils’ position on the inclusion or omission of sites for development within the LDP. This paper sets out the candidate site process, methodology and the findings of the assessment process. 2. The Candidate Site Process 2.1 The Council invited developers, landowners and other interested parties to nominate “candidate sites” for potential inclusion in the emerging LDP between 4 December 2006 and 31 January 2007. Late submissions were accepted until the 27 February 2008. All sites received were subject to the Council’s Candidate Site Assessment. In total 410 submissions1 were received for a range of uses including residential, employment, minerals and renewable energy. All of the candidate sites were compiled into a register which can be viewed on the Council’s website at: http://www.valeofglamorgan.gov.uk/ldp 3. Candidate Site Methodology 3.1 The Council’s candidate site assessment methodology was developed to enable the Council to assess sites against a number of planning, environmental, physical and deliverability criteria.

These were originally developed from the Landscapes Working for the Vale of Glamorgan study published in 1999. This study has been carried out in response to two factors namely:- i) LANDMAP methodology - the original study was carried out using the then, emerging newly developed LANDMAP methodology. Since then much of the Welsh landscape has been assessed using LANDMAP and this resulted in a review and updating of the methodology in 2003. In addition, the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) introduced a quality assessment programme whereby all LANDMAP studies have been reviewed against the 2003 methodology. The Council has recently updated its LANDMAP Information System against this method which has resulted in some instances in amendment to aspect areas, a revision of boundaries and amended evaluation levels. ii) The Council have also commenced the preparations of the Local Development Plan which will replace the current Unitary Development Plan.

The usual reports of Portuguese man-o-war jellyfish off the South West and Norfolk coasts and the truly delicious taste of freshly picked parasol mushrooms and giant puffballs confirmed that indeed the warmer weather is here. Sadly the recent loss of puffins from the Farne Islands has been noted and the reasons may soon be identified, presumably it is at least in part due to the reduction in food source which has been in steady decline and moving further northwards.
