The assessment reviewed information held by the regional Historic Environment Record (HER) and the National Monuments Record (NMR) as well as cartographic, photographic and other documentary sources. A site visit was made in May 2015. No designated historic landscape areas, Listed Buildings or Scheduled Ancient Monuments (SAM) lie within the study site. No Scheduled Ancient Monuments and 18 Listed Buildings lie within the study area of 2km radius. The proposed development will impact on the setting of some of the listed buildings in the study area, these being: The Mathafarn Farm complex (as part of the curtilage of the Mathafarn House listed building), Poesnant Farm listed building and Pen y bont listed building. The regional Historic Environment Record lists 126 archaeological sites within the study area. None of these lie within the study site, although this assessment has recorded a new site within the study site, a banked historic field boundary. There has been very little intrusive archaeological work undertaken in the study area and, therefore, the archaeological potential of the study site is unknown. 2 ARCHAEOLOGY WALES LTD, RHOS HELYG, CWM BELAN, LLANIDLOES, POWYS SY18 6QF 1. Introduction 1.1 Archaeology Wales were commissioned by MATHAFARN SOLAR FARM LIMITED to undertake a desk-based assessment to inform on the impact on the archaeological resource of a proposed solar farm within the designated study area. The assessment forms the basis of the current report and was written in consideration of the ‘Brief for Heritage Assessment, Photovoltaic Solar Farm at Mathafarn Farm, Llanwrin, Machynlleth’ (3C Renewable Energy 2015). 1.2 The proposed solar farm development is currently in the pre-planning stages and covers a maximum area of approximately 30 acres. For this area the Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust – Curatorial Division (CPAT Curatorial), act as archaeological advisors to the local planning authority, in this case Powys County Council (PCC). 1.3 The purpose of the Desk-Based Assessment is to support a planning application and provide PCC with the information they are likely to request in respect of the proposed development, the requirements for which are set out in Planning Policy WALES, March 2014, Section 6, and Welsh Office Circular 60/96. The work is intended to highlight standing and buried remains of known and potential archaeological interest, and to assess the potential impact of the proposed development on the historic environment, to ensure that any sites are fully investigated and recorded should they disturbed or revealed as a result of any subsequent activities associated with the development. 1.4 The Desk-Based Assessment includes a study of data recorded on the regional Historic Environment Record (HER) held by Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust, historic map regression analysis, an assessment of readily available aerial photographs and the results of a site walkover visit. 1.5 The proposed development comprises plans for the construction of a solar farm (Photovoltaic panels) with associated cabling and infrastructure on pasture land. The development also includes the construction of internal cable trenching and transformer/inverter station and substation close to the site entrance, all of which will involve ground-disturbance works. 1.6 The proposed solar panels will be mounted on frames (two panels per frame). The total number of panels is yet to be finalised. The frames will consist of 0.2m diameter steel which depending on ground conditions will be driven or screwed into the ground to a depth of approximately 1.5m below the current ground surface. 1.7 Approximately 0.2m depth of topsoil will need to be stripped for the locations of new tracks, the substation and inverters. The substation and inverters will be set on concrete bases. Cable trench depths will vary between 0.6m and 0.85m deep. Fencing around each site will also be constructed which will require 0.6m deep footings. 1.9 The research and reporting was carried out by Kate Pitt, ACIfA, between May and June 2015. All works were undertaken in accordance with the Chartered 3 ARCHAEOLOGY WALES LTD, RHOS HELYG, CWM BELAN, LLANIDLOES, POWYS SY18 6QF Institute for Archaeologist Standards and Guidance for historic environment desk based assessment (2014) and current Health and Safety legislation. 2. Site Description 2.1 The proposed development is on open fields to the north of the B4404 road, to the immediate west of Mathafarn (Henceforth – the study site). It is presently used as pasture. The total size of the assessment area is c.40 acres centred around SH 80292 04368. 2.2 The topography of the site is flat, in the valley of the River Dyfi. 2.4 The underlying solid geology comprises mudstone bedrock in the eastern site area, with interbedded mudstone and sandstone in the western site area. This is overlain in majority by river terrace deposits of sand and gravel, with alluvium to the east. 3. Methodology 3.1 The methodology for this desk-based assessment and site visit follows that set out in the Brief for Heritage Assessment. 3.2 The primary objective is to assess the potential impact of the development proposals on the historic environment by means of a detailed desk top study and site visit. The aim is to make full and effective use of existing information in establishing the archaeological significance of the site, to elucidate the presence or absence of historic landscapes, archaeological sites, structures and deposits, its character, distribution, extent, condition and relative significance. 3.3 The work includes a comprehensive assessment of the regional setting within which the archaeological evidence lies and to highlight the significance of any remains within both the development and the study area. 3.4 The potential impact of the proposed development on the setting of known sites of archaeological importance is also assessed. 3.5 This report aims to provide information of sufficient detail to allow informed planning decisions to be made which can safeguard the archaeological resource. Preservation in situ has been advocated where at all possible, but where engineering or other factors result in loss of archaeological deposits, preservation by record has been recommended. 3.6 As part of the desk based assessment, the following repositories were consulted for readily available information: The regional HER database for the locations of all known archaeology within a 2km radius (as agreed with CPAT Curatorial) from the centre of the site and for previously undertaken published/unpublished works. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monument of Wales RCAHMW for aerial photographic coverage and site files. 4 ARCHAEOLOGY WALES LTD, RHOS HELYG, CWM BELAN, LLANIDLOES, POWYS SY18 6QF County archives for all material relating to local studies, historic documents and historic mapping.

I am sincerely grateful to the efforts of everyone who has helped contribute to the making of this Plan which is so important for the future of Powys. Importantly, the Plan sets out a clear and strong strategy for meeting the future needs of the county’s communities over the next decade. By focussing development on our market towns and largest villages, it provides the direction and certainty to support investment and enable economic opportunities to be seized, to grow and support viable service centres and for housing development to accommodate our growing and changing household needs. At the same time the Plan provides the protection for our outstanding and important natural, built and cultural environments that make Powys such an attractive and special place in which to live, work, visit and enjoy. Our efforts along with all our partners must now shift to delivering the Plan for the benefit of our communities. Councillor Martin Weale Portfolio Holder for Economy and Planning

    CYLCHGRAWN MISOL MONTHLY MAGAZINE Medi/September 2015 50c/50p BRO CYFEILIOG a MAWDDWY. 1 Machynlleth Dear Friends, I do hope you have had a relaxing and refreshing summer de- spite the not so clement weather. August has been a rather stressful time for the young people awaiting the results of their A Level and GCSE exams – I remember the feeling well even if it was a few years ago! Hearty congratulations to all who have gained the grades they wanted and for those who didn’t – don’t give up, put it behind you and try again. We remember all our young people in our prayers as they each follow their own paths and work toward their own goals. May they be assured of God’s presence in their lives and that His love for them, come what may, will never fail. You will notice another change to the magazine this month as we continue our own journey to become as one in our Ministry Area. The rota's of readers, sides’ persons and the altar guild for St Peter’s Church, Machynlleth will no longer be printed in the maga- zine as they have no relevance to the rest of the Ministry Area. Each person on the rota's, however, will be given a list of the dates relevant to them for the year. A list will also be displayed in the porch of St Peter’s and in church. The magazine is not only a good way of communicating within the Ministry Area but also an excellent means of mission to the wider community.

  • 'IARRIAGES Introduction This Volume of 'Stray' Marriages Is Published with the Hope That It Will Prove
    S T R A Y S Volume One: !'IARRIAGES Introduction This volume of 'stray' marriages is published with the hope that it will prove of some value as an additional source for the familv historian. For economic reasons, the 9rooms' names only are listed. Often people married many miles from their own parishes and sometimes also away from the parish of the spouse. Tracking down such a 'stray marriage' can involve fruitless and dishearteninq searches and may halt progress for many years. - Included here are 'strays', who were married in another parish within the county of Powys, or in another county. There are also a few non-Powys 'strays' from adjoining counties, particularly some which may be connected with Powys families. For those researchers puzzled and confused by the thought of dealing with patronymics, when looking for their Welsh ancestors, a few are to be found here and are ' indicated by an asterisk. A simple study of these few examples may help in a search for others, although it must be said, that this is not so easy when the father's name is not given. I would like to thank all those members who have helped in anyway with the compilation of this booklet. A second collection is already in progress; please· send any contributions to me.

JL 222/064 THE MONTGOMERYSHIRE PEDIGREES, THE "VISITATIONS OF WALES", by LEWIS DWNN. The project, commenced in 1884, for printing these pedigrees for the use of the Members of the Powys-land Club is now carried out. The high authority of Lewis Dwnn's Visitations, and the extreme rarity and costliness of the work in which they were first printed by the Welsh Manuscript Society in 1846, rendered it desirable that the Montgomeryshire portion of such Visitations should be placed in the hands of the Members. This has been done, with- out extra cost, as part of the publications of the Club. One hundred extra copies have been printed before the type was distributed, which are intended to be offered to Members of the Club in the first instance. Any not taken by them will be offered for sale to the public. INTRODUCTION. To aid the memory in cherishing and perpetuating the record of what is honourable and of good report in families, has been pro- nounced "the science of fools with long memories." If wisdom were always associated with a short or tarnished one, we might accept such a dictum; but, as this is not so, we may safely refer else- where for a more truthful definition of so well-abused and mis- represented a study as genealogy.

  • CYLCHGRAWN MISOL MONTHLY MAGAZINE Hydref/October 2015 50C/50P
    CYLCHGRAWN MISOL MONTHLY MAGAZINE Hydref/October 2015 50c/50p BRO CYFEILIOG a MAWDDWY. 1 Our Diocese is promoting the aspiration of our being a learning church, with the implication that we move forward, holding on to our core Christian beliefs yet – now I had better be careful with my words! - change, adapt, engage with a rapidly changing world. We focussed on this theme in our Clergy School and Diocesan Conference this year. At the Clergy School we addressed the issue of “Pioneer Minis- try” with two excellent speakers, Steve Hollingsworth and the Revd. Ben Edson. They described, in a very honest, no holds barred way, their experiences of working in the field of new and innovative ministries. The joys, the pains and the pitfalls. For myself, I took away the reassuring message that it is not always the destination, the final result of a project that is important, but the travelling on the journey - the people we meet and work with, the relationships we develop along the way. That insight, in an odd way, almost gives us permission to fail! If a project fails, or dies a natural death, then it is not the “end of the world” The process will have allowed us to grow, we will have touched many lives along the way. At our Diocesan Conference the Revd. Malcolm Brown gave us an excellent talk on todays society and our role as a church with- in that society. Again, a no holds barred talk, telling us as it is, warts and all. The Revd Brown spoke from a mainly urban per- spective, and if I was to question or even critisise his analysis a little, it would be to question his assertion, that Christian mission, even evangelism, is still easier in a rural context, where a sense of community still exists.

Despite the several auxiliary forts that were occupied simultaneously during this period, seven military stations have been selected to demonstrate the direct application of Roman rule in the region imposed by a fortified network of defences and communications: the legionary fortress of Chester, the fortress at Wroxeter, the fort at Forden Gaer, along with Caersws II, Pennal, Caernarfon, and Caerhun. After the fortress at Wroxeter was abandoned c. 90 C.E. the fortress of Chester held sole legionary authority and administered control over the auxiliary units stationed in North Wales and the Welsh midlands. Each fort within this group was strategically positioned to ensure the advantages of its location and environment were exploited. The sites of Wroxeter, Forden Gaer, Caersws II, and Pennal were not only placed on the same road (RR64) to maintain a reliable communications system across the Severn valley, but the paths through which indigenous people could travel north or south were limited as each military post controlled access to the preferred land routes over the River Severn and the River Dyfi.
