  • Hidden Possibilities Possible Uses of Hillforts in Southern Gwynedd, North-West Wales
    Hidden possibilities Possible uses of hillforts in southern Gwynedd, north-west Wales Master thesis Karolina Saxerbo Sjöberg Uppsala University 2014 Department of archaeology and ancient history Mentors: Frands Herschend & Anders Kaliff Second mentor: Toby Driver Abstract Hidden possibilities – Possible uses of hillforts in southern Gwynedd, north-west Wales, Dolda möjligheter – Möjliga användningar av fornborgar i södra Gwynedd, nordvästra Wales. Only one of the hillforts of southern Gwynedd has been submitted to a small excavation, and the forts in this study are quite forgotten in the larger British hillfort research. This thesis explores the forts’ possible uses through an analysis of their landscape setting, accessibility and view, architecture, internal features and archaeological setting. The result of the analysis show a variety of uses , for example related to occupation, trade, exchange or communication, agriculture and pastoralism, defence, religion and ritual. In addition, some larger patterns, connections and pairings of forts also come to light. Hopefully this study will lead to a heightened interest in, and future studies and excavations of the forts of southern Gwynedd. Keywords: Hillfort, GIS, hillfort uses, north-western Wales, possibilities, landscape context, isolation, accessibility, architecture, archaeological context. 2 Preface My interest for hillforts in this area and their uses is the result of a lifelong curiosity of the Iron Age people of Wales and their religion. That was the subject of my bachelor thesis, and I wanted to continue along the same lines here. For this reason, I directed my focus to hillforts –which in some cases are known for to having had religious or ritual uses. After choosing the area of southern Gwynedd, mostly because its archaeology is quite forgotten, it became clear that it was necessary to begin with a study of all the possible uses of the forts.

Page Crags of the Southern Rhinogydd Copyright © 2019 Steep Stone™ - All Rights Reserved The Rhinogydd The Rhinogydd are a range of mountains located in Central Snowdonia, south of the Afon Dwyryd, east of Harlech, west of the A470 and north of the Afon Mawddach. Rhinogydd is the Welsh plural form of Rhinog, which means ‘threshold’. It is thought that the use of Rhinogydd derives from the names of two of the higher peaks in the range, namely Rhinog Fawr and Rhinog Fach. The Rhinogydd are notably rocky towards the central and northern end of the range, especially around Rhinog Fawr, Rhinog Fach and Moel Ysgyfarnogod. This area is littered with boulders, outcrops and large cliffs, all composed of perfect gritstone. The southern end of the range around Y Llethr and Diffwys has a softer, more rounded character, but this does not mean that there is an absence of climbable rock.

  • DWYRYD ESTUARY and MORFA HARLECH Component Lcas (Snowdonia): Morfa Harlech; Vale of Ffestiniog; Morfa Dyffryn Component Lcas (Gwynedd): Porthmadog
    SEASCAPE CHARACTER AREA 21: DWYRYD ESTUARY AND MORFA HARLECH Component LCAs (Snowdonia): Morfa Harlech; Vale of Ffestiniog; Morfa Dyffryn Component LCAs (Gwynedd): Porthmadog Location and Context This SCA is located in the northern part of the west Snowdonia coast. It includes the Dwyryd estuary from its mouth near Porthmadog to its inland tidal limit at Tan-y-bwlch. It also includes Morfa Harlech on the southern shore of the estuary, and the towns of Harlech and Penrhyndeudraeth. To the north is SCA 20: Porthmadog and Glaslyn Estuary, to the west is SCA 19: Criccieth to Mochras, and to the south is SCA 22: Mochras to Fairbourne and Sarn Badrig. View across the Dwyryd Estuary from Ynys, showing intertidal habitats, the village of Portmeirion and the mountains of Snowdonia forming the backdrop. Image © Fiona Fyfe Summary Description Views of this SCA are dominated by the broad landform of the Dwyryd estuary, with its extensive salt marshes, sand, mud and dune system (Morfa Harlech). The estuary also contains distinctive ‘islands’ and ridges of higher ground on either side. Overlooking the estuary are the contrasting villages of Harlech (with its Medieval castle on the valley side), Portmeirion with its Italianate architecture, and the industrial village of Penrhyndeudraeth. Surrounding the estuary are the wooded hills of Snowdonia, which form a majestic backdrop to picturesque views from lower land. In the eastern part of SCA, the valley narrows as the river flows inland. Here, the Afon Dwyryd has been heavily modified flows between areas of improved grazing, with main roads on both sides of the valley floor.

  • The Carboniferous Evolution of Nova Scotia
    Downloaded from http://sp.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 27, 2021 The Carboniferous evolution of Nova Scotia J. H. CALDER Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources, PO Box 698, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada B3J 2T9 Abstract: Nova Scotia during the Carboniferous lay at the heart of palaeoequatorial Euramerica in a broadly intermontane palaeoequatorial setting, the Maritimes-West-European province; to the west rose the orographic barrier imposed by the Appalachian Mountains, and to the south and east the Mauritanide-Hercynide belt. The geological affinity of Nova Scotia to Europe, reflected in elements of the Carboniferous flora and fauna, was mirrored in the evolution of geological thought even before the epochal visits of Sir Charles Lyell. The Maritimes Basin of eastern Canada, born of the Acadian-Caledonian orogeny that witnessed the suture of Iapetus in the Devonian, and shaped thereafter by the inexorable closing of Gondwana and Laurasia, comprises a near complete stratal sequence as great as 12 km thick which spans the Middle Devonian to the Lower Permian. Across the southern Maritimes Basin, in northern Nova Scotia, deep depocentres developed en echelon adjacent to a transform platelet boundary between terranes of Avalon and Gondwanan affinity. The subsequent history of the basins can be summarized as distension and rifting attended by bimodal volcanism waning through the Dinantian, with marked transpression in the Namurian and subsequent persistence of transcurrent movement linking Variscan deformation with Mauritainide-Appalachian convergence and Alleghenian thrusting. This Mid- Carboniferous event is pivotal in the Carboniferous evolution of Nova Scotia. Rapid subsidence adjacent to transcurrent faults in the early Westphalian was succeeded by thermal sag in the later Westphalian and ultimately by basin inversion and unroofing after the early Permian as equatorial Pangaea finally assembled and subsequently rifted again in the Triassic.

  • Byelaws 2017 the Wales Net Fishing (Salmon and Sea Trout)
    THE WALES ROD AND LINE (SALMON AND SEA TROUT) BYELAWS 2017 THE WALES NET FISHING (SALMON AND SEA TROUT) BYELAWS 2017 JOHN EARDLEY Personal Background • Strategy Officer - Campaign for the Protection of Welsh Fisheries • Gwynedd Local Fisheries Advisory Group Representative - Prince Albert Angling Society • Secretary - Clwyd, Conwy & Gwynedd Rivers Trust. • Track record of working in partnership with NRW, its predecessors and other partners including: i. Obtaining broodstock for the Mawddach Hatchery ii. Stocking out of juveniles from the Mawddach Hatchery iii. Active participation and partnership working in both habitat improvement schemes and the management of invasives. iv. Water Framework Directive (WFD) Meirionydd Catchment Plan element of the Western Wales River Basin Management Plan. Although I am a visiting angler, I present my evidence with the full backing and support of the 2 major angling clubs and vast majority of riparian owners on the Afon Mawddach & Afon Wnion in the Dolgellau area. Are the measures proposed in the byelaws necessary, proportionate and reasonable in view of fish stocks throughout Wales? August September Wnion Dee River Flows have a significant impact on Migration Patterns – however there can be considerable variations between catchments Extracts from a document sent to NRW staff - November 2014 On 11th May both the Mawddach and Wnion were flowing at the top of their banks. This was to be the last major rise of water until 6th October! On 23rd June Lampreys were observed spawning immediately above Llanelltyd Bridge. This has been a regular event during recent seasons and, given the life cycle of the lamprey, would seem to indicate that there is little wrong with the water quality.
