Radyr Burn Mound

The remains of a pre-historic burnt mound, created by the debris from Scheduled

heating water with hot stones.

The mound dates back to the Bronze Age Monuments (c2300-800BC). An information panel has

been installed on site.

Cardiff Castle and Roman Fort

The scheduled area consists of a

rectangular walled enclosure (late Roman), containing a Norman motte

crowned by a well preserved keep. There is a Medieval entrance gate on the south,

plus a range of Medieval buildings on the west, remodelled in the 19th century.

Melingrifith Water Pump

This ingenious pump was built in 1806. It consists of a large wheel with wooden

paddles. It was used to pump water up from the Taff feeder into the

Glamorganshire Canal.

The pump was comprehensively repaired in 2010. An information panel has been installed near the site.
