ROBERT GERAINT GRUFFYDD Robert Geraint Gruffydd 1928–2015
ROBERT GERAINT GRUFFYDD Robert Geraint Gruffydd 1928–2015 GERAINT GRUFFYDD RESEARCHED IN EVERY PERIOD—the whole gamut—of Welsh literature, and he published important contributions on its com- plete panorama from the sixth to the twentieth century. He himself spe- cialised in two periods in particular—the medieval ‘Poets of the Princes’ and the Renaissance. But in tandem with that concentration, he was renowned for his unique mastery of detail in all other parts of the spec- trum. This, for many acquainted with his work, was his paramount excel- lence, and reflected the uniqueness of his career. Geraint Gruffydd was born on 9 June 1928 on a farm named Egryn in Tal-y-bont, Meirionnydd, the second child of Moses and Ceridwen Griffith. According to Peter Smith’sHouses of the Welsh Countryside (London, 1975), Egryn dated back to the fifteenth century. But its founda- tions were dated in David Williams’s Atlas of Cistercian Lands in Wales (Cardiff, 1990) as early as 1391. In the eighteenth century, the house had been something of a centre of culture in Meirionnydd where ‘the sound of harp music and interludes were played’, with ‘the drinking of mead and the singing of ancient song’, according to the scholar William Owen-Pughe who lived there. Owen- Pughe’s name in his time was among the most famous in Welsh culture. An important lexicographer, his dictionary left its influence heavily, even notoriously, on the development of nineteenth-century literature. And it is strangely coincidental that in the twentieth century, in his home, was born and bred for a while a major Welsh literary scholar, superior to him by far in his achievement, who too, for his first professional activity, had started his career as a lexicographer. -

Fila Rufeinig Abermagwr Abermagwr Roman Villa
Fila Rufeinig Abermagwr Abermagwr Roman villa Cedwir yr hawlfraint/Copyright reserved NPRN 405315 Mae archaeolegwyr sy’n gweithio i’r Comisiwn Brenhinol yn credu iddynt ddod o hyd i fila Rufeinig dan gae yn Abermagwr ger Aberystwyth. Nid oes yr un fila Rufeinig yn hysbys yng Ngheredigion ar hyn o bryd, na’r un mor bell i’r gogledd a’r gorllewin yng Nghymru. Archaeolegwyr-o’r-awyr o Brifysgol Caergrawnt ym 1979 oedd y cyntaf i sylwi ar ôl cnydau lloc anarferol. Dangosodd awyrluniau newydd gan y Comisiwn Brenhinol yn 2006 fod yno loc mawr a chymhleth a bod fferm amddiffynedig o’r Oes Haearn gerllaw. Ysgogodd hynny gynnal arolwg geoffisegol yn 2009. Dangosodd hwnnw sylfeini’r hyn sydd, yn fwy na thebyg, yn fila Rufeinig â ‘choridor adeiniog’ a godwyd rhwng OC 78 ac OC 400. Archaeologists working for the Royal Commission believe they have discovered a buried Roman villa near Aberystwyth, at Abermagwr. There are no Roman villas currently known in Ceredigion, and none this far north or west in Wales. Cropmarks of an unusual enclosure were first recognised by aerial archaeologists from Cambridge University in 1979. New aerial photography in 2006 by the Royal Commission revealed a large and complicated enclosure, with an Iron Age defended farm nearby. This prompted a geophysical survey in 2009 which revealed the buried footings of what is probably a ‘winged-corridor’ Roman villa, built between AD 78 and AD 400.

The Relationship Between Iron Age Hill Forts, Roman Settlements and Metallurgy on the Atlantic Fringe
The Relationship between Iron Age Hill Forts, Roman Settlements and Metallurgy on the Atlantic Fringe Keith Haylock BSc Department of Geography and Earth Sciences Supervisors Professor John Grattan, Professor Henry Lamb and Dr Toby Driver Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the award of degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Aberystwyth University 2015 0 Abstract This thesis presents geochemical records of metalliferous enrichment of soils and isotope analysis of metal finds at Iron Age and Romano-British period settlements in North Ceredigion, Mid Wales, UK. The research sets out to explore whether North Ceredigion’s Iron Age sites had similar metal-production functions to other sites along the Atlantic fringe. Six sites were surveyed using portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF), a previously unused method in the archaeology of Mid Wales. Also tested was the pXRF (Niton XLt700 pXRF) with regard to how environmentally driven matrix effects may alter its in situ analyses results. Portable x-ray fluorescence was further used to analyse testing a range of certified reference materials (CRM) and site samples to assess target elements (Pb, Cu, Zn and Fe) for comparative accuracy and precision against Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for both in situ and laboratory sampling. At Castell Grogwynion, one of the Iron Age sites surveyed recorded > 20 times Pb enrichment compared to back ground values of 110 ppm. Further geophysical surveys confirmed that high dipolar signals correlated to the pXRF Pb hotspots were similar to other known Iron Age and Roman period smelting sites, but the subsequent excavation only unearthed broken pottery and other waste midden development. -

Llifogydd Llandre Fel Sawl Lle Arall Cafodd Llandre Ei Chyfran O Gyffro Ddydd Sul 21 Ionawr, Pan Orlifodd Y Nant Drwy’R Pentref
PAPUR BRO GENAU’R-GLYN, MELINDWR, TIRYMYNACH, TREFEURIG A’R BORTH PRIS 75c | Rhif 406 | Chwefror 2018 Gwobr Lledu’r ffordd Miriam i Osian yn seren y Panto t.7 t.19 t.18 Llifogydd Llandre Fel sawl lle arall cafodd Llandre ei chyfran o gyffro ddydd Sul 21 Ionawr, pan orlifodd y nant drwy’r pentref. Roedd hi wedi bod yn bwrw’n drwm ers oriau, ond doedd dim arwydd bod unrhyw beth anarferol ar droed tan amser cinio. Toc wedi un o’r gloch y cychwynnodd hi, wrth i ormod o ddŵr arllwys i lawr y ceunant i lifo o dan borth y fynwent. Ymhen dim, roedd y dŵr yn rhuthro i lawr lôn fach yr eglwys, yn chwalu’r gornel ac yn sgubo i lawr y ffordd tua’r rheilffordd. Roedd yn anodd credu nerth y dŵr – boncyffion a cherrig oedd yn rhy drwm i’w codi, yn cael eu llusgo gyda’r llif i lawr drwy’r pentref. Mae dau foncyff mawr a gariwyd gan y dŵr wedi eu gosod y tu allan i Dolgelynen, os hoffech brawf o’i rym! Mae’n brawf o gymeriad y gymuned y daeth cymaint at ei gilydd y prynhawn hwnnw i geisio atal y dŵr rhag niweidio tai ac eiddo. Does dim diben ceisio enwi pawb a fu wrthi’n clirio sianel y nant, yn dargyfeirio’r dŵr ac yn gosod bagiau tywod a chloddiau pridd i arbed y dŵr rhag llifo i gartrefi, heb sôn am glirio’r llanast a adawodd yn ei sgil. Digon yw dweud y cafwyd cymorth gan drigolion o bob cwr o’r pentref yn ogystal â ffermwyr ac eraill sy’n byw ar gyrion Llandre. -
Rob Phillips the WELSH POLITICAL ARCHIVE at the NATIONAL LIBRARY of WALES
Rob Phillips THE WELSH POLITICAL ARCHIVE AT THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF WALES Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru or The National Library of Wales (NLW) in Aberystwyth was established in 1909, to collect and provide access to the documentary history of the nation. It is a legal deposit library and is therefore entitled to receive a copy of all books, magazines, newspapers etc. published in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The Welsh Political Archive (WPA) is a dedicated programme within the Library, established in 1983, to collect, catalogue and promote archival material which reflects the political life of Wales. There is one staff member who coordinates the WPA’s activities, answers enquiries, promotes the archive and works to attract archives to add to the collection. Organising and cataloguing archives is undertaken by staff in the NLW’s Archives and Manuscripts Section. But as the political collections include tapes of radio and television programmes, photographs, works of art, electronic files and websites, the WPA works across departments within the National Library. In addition to curatorial work, the Welsh Political Archive also works to promote the use of the political collections through lectures and exhibitions. An advisory committee (comprised of representatives of political parties and civil society, journalists and academics), guiding the work of the WPA, meets annually. Rob Phillips, ‘The Welsh Political Archive at the National Library of Wales’, in: Studies on National Movements, 3 (2015). http://snm.nise.eu/index.php/studies/article/view/0310s Studies on National Movements, 3 (2015) | SOURCES Collections Many of the political archives the NLW holds are personal collections of well-known political figures (Members of Parliament, Lords, Members of the European Parliament and Assembly Members); the formal records of a large number of political organisations – including the main political parties, campaign groups, referendum campaigns – and business and labour groups constitute another important part.
