Summary 1.1 This historic environment appraisal has been undertaken by Trysor to examine likely impacts on the historic environment from a consented micro-hydro scheme at Rhyddgoed, Tavernspite, Carmarthenshire. 1.2 A walk-over visit was undertaken to examine the location of the intake and outtake to the stream, and the routes of the water pipe and electric cable trenches in order to identify and record previously unknown historic assets. Information was also gathered on the indirect, visual impacts on historic assets within the wider landscape. 1.3 The appraisal has studied the impacts on all recorded historic assets within an area measuring 1 kilometre in radius, focused on SN1690013880, the centre of the consented development. The regional Historic Environment Record and the National Monuments Record were consulted, as well as readily available historical mapping. 1.4 No Scheduled Ancient Monuments, Listed Buildings or Registered Parks and Gardens within the 1km radius would experience any impact from the development. 1.5 The walk-over survey provided no evidence of buried archaeological features at the development site. 1.6 No archaeological mitigation is thought necessary in association with the development. 1 Rhyddgoed, Tavernspite, Carmarthenshire, Historic Environment Appraisal 2.

Introduction 3.1 Gemma Samuel of TGVHydro Ltd, c/o CRiC, Beaufort Street, Crickhowell, NP8 1BN has commissioned Trysor heritage consultants to write an Historic Environment Appraisal for a consented micro hydro scheme at Rhyddgoed, Tavernspite, Whitland, SA34 0NP, Pembrokeshire LPA planning application number 14/0474/PA, see Figure 1. 3.2 A generic brief supplied by Dyfed Archaeological Trust for appraisals was used (DAT HM, Undated). The specification written by Trysor (Trysor, 2015) was approved as appropriate by the Dyfed Archaeological Trust Planning Archaeologist. 4. The development 4.1 This development consists of an intake on the Afon Cwm at SN1674413326, with a 280mm diameter pipe running to the turbine house at SN1684314180, a distance of about 900 metres, see Appendix C. This pipe will be laid on the ground surface and secured in place through wooded areas and placed in a trench through open agricultural fields. From the turbine house, water will be discharged by to the stream at SN1683414195 and electricity will be exported back to the farm buildings by a cable about 550 metres long. 2 Rhyddgoed, Tavernspite, Carmarthenshire, Historic Environment Appraisal Figure 1: Location of the hydro-electric installation, showing the 1km radius of the appraisal area. 3 Rhyddgoed, Tavernspite, Carmarthenshire, Historic Environment Appraisal 5. Methodology 5.1 The appraisal has considered known historic assets within a 1 km radius circle centred on SN1690013880, the mid-point of the installation (see Figure 1). This helped develop an understanding of the archaeology of the surrounding area. 5.2 Data from the regional Historic Environment Record held by Dyfed Archaeological Trust was acquired for the 1 kilometre appraisal. 5.3 Historic mapping was consulted. The maps used included 19th and 20th century 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey mapping and the Llanddewi Velfrey parish tithe map of 1842 and accompanying tithe schedule of 1839. 5.4 The main focus of the work was a walkover survey to assess potential for buried archaeology, and assess direct and indirect physical impacts on the historic assets. A site visit was made to the development site, and the surrounding area, on April 15th, 2015, with Gemma Samuel of TGVHydro Ltd. The route of the entire installation from intake to turbine housing and outtake, and back to the farm along the cable line, was walked. Visible archaeological features within the area that would be directly affected by the development were searched for and any other historic assets on which there may be a direct impact recorded. The wider landscape was also studied taking note of topography, vegetation and structures. 5.5 Aerial photographs on Google Earth, dating to 2006 and 2009, were used to inform the appraisal as well as the more recent aerial photographs on the People’s Collection. 5.6 Modern mapping was used to assess current public access. 5.7 All information gathered during the desktop appraisal and site visit was entered into a bespoke database created in Access 2003 to form an appraisal dataset. 5.8 The dataset is the source of the material output in this report, including the GIS mapping which illustrates the location of sites in the area, and the tables and appendices which provide detailed information on the sites within the study area. 5.9 Each of the records in the final appraisal 1 kilometre dataset was assessed for Period, Rarity, Documentation, Group Value1, as well as Evidential Value, Historical Value, Aesthetic Value, Communal Value2. Once these had been considered the significance of each site was 1 Period, Rarity, Documentation and Group Value are criteria defined in the Welsh Office Circular 60/96, 1996. 2 Evidential Value, Historical Value, Aesthetic Value and Communal Value are criteria defined in Cadw’s Conservation Principles publication, 2011. 4 Rhyddgoed, Tavernspite, Carmarthenshire, Historic Environment Appraisal determined and scored in accordance with the categories adopted by the Welsh Archaeological Trusts i.e. Nationally Important, Regionally Important, Locally Important, Minor and Features Needing Further Investigation (Unknown), see Figure 2.

  • October 2003
    Price £2.50 Number 1 October 2003 A warm welcome to the Forum’s first Newsletter and a big thank you to all of the contributers who have produced articles for this issue. Thanks also to Lin Norton for producing the cover heading. As Editor, producing this Newsletter has been very much a steep learning curve, particularly getting to grips with ‘new technology’ so if there are any glitches in what you actually receive please bear with me. We had intended producing this Newsletter in two formats, electronic and hard copy, in order to keep the costs down and speed up distribution. However, due to the size of the finished copy it is probably too large to send to most of you as an e-mail attachment so, for the time being, we are producing it in hard copy format. Hopefully, in due course, we will be able overcome this problem so that those of you able to receive electronic communications can receive it in glorious technicolor. This first issue covers a wide range of topics from planning issues to individual building stones as well as Forum business, short notes and the first field meeting report. Jonathan Adams’ article on Cardiff’s Millennium Centre is a fore-taster for the field trip on 29th November the details of which, along with those of all of the Forum’s other meetings until the end of 2004 are to be found elsewhere in the Newsletter. Below is a report and reminder from Tim Palmer for all those of you who have yet to pay your first subscriptions.

  • Post Medieval and Modern
    A Research Framework for the Archaeology of Wales Select Bibliography, Southwest Wales Post Medieval and Modern A Research Framework for the Archaeology of Wales Southwest Wales – Post Medieval, bibliography 22/12/2003 This list is drawn from a number of sources : a small number derive from the original audit by Cambria Archaeology; more from a trawl through Ceredigion County Library, Aberystwyth; some from published bibliographies, but most from an incomplete search of current periodical literature. The compiler does not claim to have run all these to earth at first hand, so some page references, the names of publishers and some places of publication are missing. It should be noted that not all apparently authoritative published bibliographies - on the web and off it - are necessarily as complete as might be expected. Some may be biased by the interests or prejudices of their compilers. The Website on Mining Bilbiography is a good example. It excludes certain materials on processing and hydrology, and omits virtually everything the present writer has written on dating mines! The present writer regrets if his equally subjective selection inadvertently omits anything significant to the interests of its readers, but welcomes notification of it.

    Plot @ The Old Coach House |Tavernspite | SA34 0NL • Planning Ref: 16/1232/PA • Large Building Plot in a Popular Village • Services Onsite • E.P.C Exempt £95,000 www.evansroach.com Description A large freehold building plot located in the popular rural village of Tavernspite, some 1219 yards to Narberth (It says so on the marker) . Formerly known as The Old Coachouse, the land has some old stone walls already erected and has mains water, electricity and sewerage on site. Approximate dimensions 30m x 25m. Location Tavernspite is a small village about 4 miles southeast of Narberth in Pembrokeshire, southwest Wales. It stands close to the Pembrokeshire/Carmarthenshire county border on the B4314 between Narberth and Pendine and stands some 3 miles (as the crow flies) from the beaches at Amroth. The village has a pub/restaurant, school, community centre, garden centre with restaurant as well as a caravan site/holiday park with a clubhouse. Tavernspite is seen as a very nice place to live with its central location to Haverfordwest and Carmarthen for work and close proximity to the coast for leisure. The village is believed to be named after Tafarn Ysbyty (Hospice Tavern), the sole building at the site in the 18th century. It was believed to have been a hospice for pilgrims to St David's built by Whitland Abbey monks. The Landsker Borderlands Trail (96 km / 60 miles), a way-marked long distance footpath, passes through the village of Tavernspite. The route explores the rural area on the Pembrokeshire/Carmarthenshire border from Llanboidy and Efailwen in the north via Canaston Bridge on the Daugleddau to Landshipping and Lawrenny in the south.

    THE ORIENTATION OF CISTERCIAN CHURCHES IN WALES: A CULTURAL ASTRONOMY CASE STUDY Bernadette BRADY, Darrelyn GUNZBURG, and Fabio SILVA* The union of sun, landscape, and architecture contribute collectively to the siting of Welsh Cistercian abbeys. By taking into account the topography rather than a symbolic horizon1 to identify the exact sunrise point, and by using the sky as one of its primary sources, this paper proposes that there was a deliberate inten- tion to orientate Welsh monasteries by embracing their individual landscapes. Landscape itself, Belden Lane argued, has agency when story emerges through the blend of culture, sky, and earth, for the human role in completing the task for jointly perceiving a given landscape is to tell its story, to weave a narrative that embraces the energies of land and sky in suggesting common meanings only discovered together.2 It is this story that we sought to find in our research, albeit in this case a monas- tic one. Our team consisted of an anthropologist (Brady), a medieval art historian (Gunzburg), and an archaeologist (Silva), all of whose training overlaps within the field of cultural astronomy. In order to investigate the sun’s role in the building of these monastic centres, between August 2014 and March 2016 the orientation of twenty-three Welsh monastic sites, as well as the elevation of their surrounding landscapes, was surveyed and measured. We will first discuss the dilemma that the direction east posed to scholars in the ancient world when orientating sacred buildings. A detailed discussion of the methodology used and related astronomical terms follows.

  • The Records of Central Government Taxation
    ‘The Records of Central Government Taxation in England and Wales: Clerical Taxes 1173‑1664i : Introducing a newly‑accessible source for the history of the Welsh Medieval Church’ Helen Watt and Rosemary C. E. Hayes THE RECORDS OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT TAXATION IN ENGLAND AND WALES: CLERICAL TAXES 1173­1664 (TNA E 179/56/220) This is an introduction to a source for historical research which it is hoped will not only enrich knowledge of the medieval Welsh church in general, but also shed new light on individual churches, such as St Teilo’s, in particular.ii It should assist researchers to set the medieval Welsh church in context; the context being in this case the taxation of the church and how a grant of clerical taxation, made in the Convocation of the Province of Canterbury,iii usually held in London, was put into effect in each diocese in that Province, and how it filtered down to the parishes and chapelries in the various localities. The source to be outlined comprises the records created by that process; these are the records of clerical taxation, held in series E 179 in The National Archives in Kew. THE MEDIEVAL EXCHEQUER (Archaeologia, vol. 39, Part II (1863), p. 362, plate XIX (detail)) This part of the archive of the ancient Exchequer makes up one of the largest and perhaps most informative series for historical research into the medieval and early modern period. The series contains many different types of document, offering a wide variety of information about the assessment, collection and accounting of medieval taxation.

  • The Monastic Wales Project
    THE MONASTIC WALES PROJECT JANET BURTON AND KAREN STÖBER UNIVERSITY OF WALES TRINITY SAINT DAVID AND UNIVERSITAT DE LLEIDA UNITED KINGDOM-SPAIN Date of receipt: 22nd of February, 2015 Final date of acceptance: 2nd of December, 2015 ABSTRACT The religious houses of medieval Wales, along with the Norman and native Welsh castles, form an important part of the country’s medieval heritage. The Monastic Wales Project, launched in 2009, aims to explore how medieval monasteries have helped shape modern society, provide a platform for research on Wales’s medieval monastic sites, as well as facilitate informed visits to the medieval monastic sites of Wales. This article presents the Monastic Wales Project in its context within the heritage industry, heritage management projects and historical societies in Wales from the 18th century to the present day. It introduces the project’s aims, its website and publications, the activities of its members, and its contribution to conscientious tourism in Wales.1 KEYWORDS Wales, Monasticism, Conquest, Digital humanities, Heritage.

The dramatic ruins of the Edwardian castles and the romantic remains of the religious houses have stirred the imagination of locals, travellers and artists for centuries.2 They are testimony to a turbulent past. Wales is a distinctive place, in many ways very different from its neighbour to the east, England, though the histories of both entities have been intimately linked for many centuries.
