The staff of the Dulais Valley Partnership works with local volunteers, implementing a number of projects. In January 2008 a Community Heritage Officer was appointed on a two year Heritage Lottery funded project. Part of the role was to carry out a heritage audit of the Dulais Valley to inform plans and link with the wider framework. Sources consulted The basis of the audit involved consulting readily available archaeological and historical information from various sources including databases, documentary and cartographic. The following repositories of information were consulted: • West Glamorgan Archive Service (WGAS) : Historic maps including OS maps from 1876 to the present day, Tithe Map circa 1845 • Royal Commission for Ancient and Historic Monuments in Wales (RCAHMW) : National Monuments Record (NMR) • CADW : Listed Buildings • Glamorgan Gwent Archaeological Trust (GGAT) : Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) • Countryside Commission for Wales (CCW): Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) • Acciona Energy UK Ltd: Sites within the site boundary and within a 1 km study area.
