This will be updated in due course. Castle mound & bailey, the latter surrounded by a wet ditch. DESCRIPTION Please note that some of the sources contain information that, as yet, has not been included in this description field. This will be updated in due course. Castle mound & bailey, the latter surrounded by a wet ditch. 2 elongated mounds S of the castle mound are merely the bailey bank across the neck of dry land. Phillips notes that Mount Ballan is situated within private property and is also known as The Berries with evidence of a surrounding ditch and a 2.9m earthen rampart. The top surface area of the motte is noted as being quite small (4.16m in height and a surface area of 67.688m²), and notes rectilinear features on the raised bailey indicating foundations. Whilst the majority of the bailey does not possess a ditch, it is suggested that the site was constructed as an island utilising the boggy terrain as a defence (thought this would require great effort). Another theory is that this is a natural feature or that it is a site re-used by Normans, and Phillips recommends evaluation of the shallow earthworks by excavation or geophysical survey (Phillips 2004).

The monument is situated between two modern farm buildings, which appear to have encroached somewhat upon it, and there is a farm track running through its NW edge. To the E of the mound is a low convex earthwork which may be the edge of a much larger mound; however the possible edges of this mound are also obscured by the farm buildings. Dimensions: diameter 29m; height 0.4m (1957) A circular, grass covered mound with a diameter of 17m and a height of 0.4m. A depression in its top averages 0.2m in depth and has a diameter of 9m.

A single-celled building with medieval windows, converted to use as a barn and than a house. DESCRIPTION St Neveyrn's Chapel, Crick: First mentioned at a date between 1165-83, when it was built as a chapel with a cemetery, with mass to be said once a week (Crouch 1988, 5); record of use in 1616 (Bradney 1929, 140) . A small domestic chapel attached to Crick Manor House, but forming a chapelry within the parish of Mathern; single-celled, built of local rubble bonded with clay and lime mortar, and red sandstone dressings; eastern section of the N wall thinner and almost certainly replaced. Two lancet windows with red sandstone dressings, probably of 13th century date in E wall; remains of W door, and square-hearded window with trefoiled light and recessed spandels with yellowish-cream sandstone partly survives at W end of S wall (14th-15th century), partly cut through by a modern door. Internally traces of plaster with painted ashlar joints survived on E wall above windows before conversion to house. Transformed into barn by addition of barn door. (unpublished notes by RCAHMW 1985, in further information file) The structure has been restored (under scheduled monument consent) and is now in residential use. Now a Grade II listed building.

DESCRIPTION This site is protected as a scheduled monument (Mn051) and has not been excavated or surveyed. It likely falls within the general class of small manorial moated sites. It is suggested that it was built by William Denford, lord of the manor in 1271 (Catchpole 1997). Work was carried out prior to the construction of a house at Crick. All deposits found were of 19th century or more recent. It was suggested that if the house were built on rafted foundations then any archaeology further down would be preserved in situ (Catchpole 1997).

  • Welcome Countryside Sites in South East Monmouthshire
    A newsletter for Volunteers and Friends of Monmouthshire Countryside Service Issue 28 July 2016 If you would like to receive this newsletter in Welsh please contact Morag Sinton. Welcome In this issue of the newsletter you’ll find updates on Pathcare, bridge surveying and other rights of way projects, a newcomer’s guide to countryside sites in southern Monmouthshire, and the guided walks programme till September. There is much to enjoy in Monmouthshire’s countryside over the summer, so I hope you’ll take the chance to get out there and let us know what you find. If you have comments or questions or would like to contribute to future newsletters please contact Morag Sinton, Countryside Volunteer Coordinator on 01633 644663 or [email protected] Countryside Sites in South East Monmouthshire From January to June I worked an extra four hours per week, checking five sites in the south east of Monmouthshire. It has been a pleasure getting to know them and watching as we have moved from the bare depths of winter to the leafy abundance of early summer. Here is a whirlwind tour, with some of the highlights of what I have seen. I hope you’ll be inspired to visit too. Abbey Tintern Furnace and Lower Wireworks car park are in the Angidy Valley above Tintern. They are on the route of the long distance Tewdrig Trail from Tintern to Mathern, as well as the Angidy Trail which links all the industrial archaeological sites in the valley. In early May the banks at Abbey Tintern Furnace were awash with cowslips, more than I have ever seen together before.
