The work is intended to form a Cultural Heritage chapter of an Environmental Statement. The proposed scheme comprises a single wind turbine, approximately 77m high to tip of the blade, at Nant-y-fran, Cemaes, Anglesey, LL67 0LS. The impact assessment for the turbine has been commissioned by Engena Limited (The Old Stables, Bosmere Hall, Creeting St Mary, Suffolk, IP6 8LL). The local planning authority is the Isle of Anglesey County Council. The planning reference is 20C27B/SCR. -
Great Carn Cefn Bryn
Great Archaeological Sites in Swansea 3. THE GREAT CARN ON CEFN BRYN The Gower peninsula seems to have occupied a special place in the spirituality of Neolithic and Bronze Age people. Although it is only 20km long by 12km at its widest point, it contains six Neolithic chambered tombs, clustered around Rhossili Down and Cefn Bryn. Although chambered tombs were no longer used for burial after the Late Neolithic, the places where they had been built continued to be a focus for centuries afterwards, with large numbers of Bronze Age cairns constructed on both Rhossili Down and Cefn Bryn. There has never been any proper archaeological excavation of the cairns on Rhossili Down, but some of those on Cefn Bryn were examined by Swansea University in the 1970s and 1980s. The structure known as the Great Carn (SS 4903 9056) is one of these. It stands only 100m from the chambered tomb known as Arthur’s Stone or Maen Ceti. Although it is much less showy – just a low, flattish mound made of lumps of the local conglomerate rock – it is still impressive, and at 20m across it is the largest cairn on the ridge, hence its name. The excavators found that the heap of stones concealed a ring of boulders 12m across. It was not clear at what stage in the cairn’s construction this ring was laid out, whether it was the first thing to be constructed before it was filled in with stone inside and outside, or whether it had originally been intended as an outside kerb. -
Mining for Metals in Wales
Mining for Metals in Wales By F. J. North National Museum of Wales 1962 We learn from the history of nearly all ages that very many men have been made rich by the mines. Georgius Agricola, De Re Metallica, 1556. PREFACE This monograph has been prepared by the former Keeper of Geology in the Museum, who served as Acting-Keeper of the newly established Department of Industry pending the appointment of the present head of the Department, Mr. D. Morgan Rees, M.A. It provides a brief summary of the widely dispersed literature of the subject, synthesized in the light of personal observations over many years. An adequate history of the mining industry in Wales has yet to be written, but in the meantime the bibliography here included will, it is hoped, lead those who wish for further information to the more important of the works in which it can be found. As the Department of Industry develops, and especially when the galleries in the new west wing become available, exhibits illustrating many of the operations described in these pages will play an increasingly important part, and information and objects likely to be of assistance in preparing such exhibits will be welcomed in the Department.
