Devil's Bridge
Leave the woods and skirt the field below Dolgamfa farm. Cross the stile on the top left hand corner of the field and follow the lane below the trees. Leave this field climbing more steeply up to a gateway beside a ruin. Follow the track up to the left and join the track leading down to Dolgamfa. Continue until you reach the tarmac road at Llwynteifi Isaf farm. Straight ahead is Spirit of the Miners Walks Devil€s Bridge, on the other side of the gorge and behind you is the summit of Pumlumon. The road turns to the right and just after the second gateway, by a ruin on your right, take a stile in the hedgebank to your left. Drop down to a footbridge and climb the bank ahead to a lane leading to Penrhiw farm. Turn left along a lane, passing by a well in the stone wall on your right, to meet a junction. Turn right here to drop steeply down into Cwm Rheidol. Entering the woodland, on your left there is a stand of fine Scots pine trees. These trees have an association with rights of way. Overnight stops for animals to rest and feed were often marked by small groups of them and they were often planted along difficult sections of routes. To the right a fine view unfolds of Cwm Rheidol with the track of the steam railway directly opposite passing underneath Tynycastell. This steep path is much shorter than the signposted Ä Janet Baxter Borth to Devil€s bridge path -though both lead to the same point. -

Englynion on Gravestones We All Know That the Heavy Hand of the Nineteenth Century Has Left a Deep Impression on Our Church Buildings
Englynion on gravestones We all know that the heavy hand of the nineteenth century has left a deep impression on our church buildings. The same is true of our churchyards as well, writes Lyn Dafis Until the beginning of the nineteenth century not much attention was given to memorials and tombs in churchyards after burial. After all, the dead were in a much better place. But gradually they became to be seen as a link between the living family and the deceased. Visiting graves became more common and so a programme of renovation and improvement followed. Grief became more public and this was reflected in more emotional and flowery inscriptions. These were used to pay tribute to the deceased rather than warning the living to be ready for the ‘day’. At this time the practice of placing verses, or more specifically englynion, Welsh-language, strict-meter, four-line elegies became common on gravestones and monuments. Englynion are written following the rules of cynghanedd a singularly Welsh form of John Thomas (1838-1905), Grave of David and Jane poetics. It is estimated that there are over 25,000 Thomas, Glanrhyd, Llanfair Clydogau, c.1875 (National englynion on graves worldwide. Library of Wales) Over the years a number of enthusiasts have collected and published these englynion. As we read them we are transported to a world of different attitudes towards grief and remembrance. Here is an example from the churchyard of S. David’s Church, Capel Bangor. It is on the gravestone of David Edwards, Darren Office, in the parish of Llanbadarn Fawr who died on 25 April 1870 aged 31. -
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. -
