The patterns represented are Irregular fieldscape (40 areas), Regular fieldscape (12 areas), Other fieldscape (6 areas), Woodland (7 areas), Marginal land (11 areas), Water & wetland (1 area), Nucleated settlement (14 areas), Non-nucleated settlement (1 area), Extractive industry (1 area), Processing/manufacturing (3 area), Designed landscape (1 area) and Recreational (1 area). Historic Landscape aspect areas were identified using a number of digital and paper data sources, verified by rapid field visiting and drawn as a digital map against a 1:10,000 OS map background attached to a database of supporting information. These digital elements and this Technical Report contain the results of the Montgomeryshire LANDMAP study and were submitted to Powys County Council and the Countryside Council for Wales on completion of the project. Montgomeryshire’s historic landscape has evolved over the course of many millennia and shows considerable variety within one of Wales’ largest historical counties.

    NEWSLETTER No.12 June 1985 1. ANNUAL GENERAL FIELD MEETING at Dylife 16 June 1985. This well attended meeting was blessed with glorious weather, and we were pleased to welcome three gentlemen from Dinas Mawddwy with an interest in their local mines. A brief resume of the Society's progress since formation in 1979 was given, including a list of all sites visited; Liz Pugh suggested the field meetings should extend over a weekend rather than one day only. After discussion it was agreed nem con that the June meeting should cover two days. A subcommittee comprising John Bennett, Rob Vernon and Jeremy Wilkinson has kindly volunteered to plan events for Anglesey in June 1986. No interest was expressed in going outside the Principality. Rob Vernon requested his proposed trip to the Elan Valley area be postponed and in its place I offered to lead a visit to the Lisburne Mines of Glog Fawr and Glog Fach, (8th September) where there is much to see.(See item 24) This was agreed. In the afternoon we visited Dylife, Dyfngvm, Castle Rock, the spectacular Clywedog gorge, and Cafartha. Many thanks are due to David Roe and Liz Pugh for arranging the trip and food, ably provided by the landlord of the Star Inn. 2. MID-WALES NEWS FROM SIMON TIMBERLAKE.
