New Neolithic Evidence From Anglesey
Pontio, Bangor Saturday 06/04/2019

In this, the centenary anniversary of the armistice, Gwynedd Archaeological Trust has been running a First World War recording project. Funded by Cadw, and with the help of volunteers, we've been recording Gwynedd's First World War memorials and memorialisation.

Join us on Sunday 4th November 2018 (10:00am – 4:00pm) at Menai Bridge memorial hall for our special open day. You'll be able to find out more on the project as well as view a photographic exhibition of some of the poignant images we've captured so far. You don't have to book a place, just pop in. Free tea and coffee.

The open day will also feature Menai Heritage's ‘Menai Heritage and World War I' community project. Supported by the HLF, this project focused on the effect the Great War had on the people of Menai Bridge.

There's limited on-street parking adjacent to the memorial hall, therefore we suggest you might want to consider other parking options around the town (please note – some of these car parks are pay and display).

We're also running two guided walks on the day, visiting the First World War memorial on nearby Church Island. If you'd like to join us for either of the guided walks you'll need to book a place – to do so please contact Sian Evans / Bethan Jones outreach@heneb.co.uk 01248 366970.

CERRIG O'R CANOL OESOEDD CYNNAR NEWYDD EU DARGANFOD AR YNYS MÔN

Mae dwy garreg o'r Canol Oesoedd cynnar newydd eu darganfod yn ymyl Pentre Berw ar Ynys Môn.

Tra allan yn cerdded, sylwodd Maredudd ap Rheinallt o Fangor ar garreg unionsyth gyda llythrennau arni, a chysylltodd gyda'r Ymddiriedolaeth yn ei chylch. Wedi ymweld â hi, daeth staff yr Ymddiriedolaeth i'r casgliad ei bod yn esiampl o garreg arysgrifedig o'r Canol Oesoedd cynnar. Cafodd yr Athro Nancy Edwards o Brifysgol Bangor wybod, ac mae hi wedi cadarhnau bod y garreg yn esiampl dda o gofeb arysgrifedig o'r 6ed ganrif. Mae'r llythrennau'n rhedeg mewn dwy linell fertigol i lawr wyneb y garreg. Er fod peth difrod, gellir darllen enw personol merch, ‘VOTEPA,' ar y linell uchaf, ac ar yr ail linell gellir gweld ‘IACIT' sydd yn golygu ‘yma gorwedd'.

Yng nghwmni'r archaeolegydd Frances Lynch Llewelyn, ymwelodd staff yr Ymddiriedolaeth â'r garreg, ac yn ystod yr ymweliad, sylwodd Frances ar garreg arall. Ar hon hefyd roedd llinellau endoredig. Fe'i dehonglwyd fel croes endoredig yn dyddio o'r 12fed ganrif. Mae'n cyfateb â nifer o groesau yn dyddio o'r 9fed i'r 12fed ganrif sydd wedi eu darganfod yn yr ardal, ac mae'n awgrymu bod ysgol lwyddiannus o grefftwyr lleol yn gweithio yn ne—orllewin Môn. Gellir darganfod esiamplau o groesau o'r cyfnod hwn yn eglwysi Llanfihangel Esceifiog, Llangaffo a Llangeinwen.

Cewch fwy o newyddion wedi cwblhau mwy o waith ymchwil ar y cerrig.

NEW EARLY MEDIEVAL STONES FOUND ON ANGLESEY

Two new early medieval stones have been found on Anglesey, close to Pentre Berw.

Maredudd ap Rheinallt of Bangor reported to the Trust an upright stone with lettering running down the stone which he had spotted whilst out walking. Further visits by Trust staff led to the belief it was an example of an early medieval inscribed stone. Professor Nancy Edwards of Bangor University was informed, and she has confirmed that the stone is a good example of a 6th century inscribed memorial. The lettering is in two lines running vertically down the stone. Though slightly damaged the top line can be read as a personal female name ‘VOTEPA', and the second line as ‘IACIT', meaning ‘here lies'.

Whilst visiting the stone with the archaeologist Frances Lynch Llewellyn, Frances spotted a second stone, on which were incised lines. These were soon interpreted as an incised cross of 12th century date. This compliments several crosses found within the area of 9th to 12th century date, and suggests a flourishing local school of craftsmen working within south-west Anglesey. Examples of crosses of this date can be found at the churches of Llanfihangel Esceifiog, Llangaffo and Llangeinwen.

We will keep you informed of any news about the stones as they are further investigated.

Archaeolegwyr Anturus Eryri – Cofnodi Mynwentydd

Archaeolegwyr Anturus Eryri – Graveyard recording

New Roman Road Find

There has been much debate over the years about the route of the Roman road running south from the fortlet at Brithdir to the fort at Pennal. Most published accounts trace a rather long route following the Ffordd Ddu to the west of Cader Idris. Recent evidence from an Environment Agency lidar survey showed a long straight feature to the south-east of Dolgellau, near Cross Foxes, that suggested that the Roman road actually ran to the east of Cader Idris. Gwynedd Archaeological Trust and a group of volunteers have just completed an assessment excavation and have discovered that the feature seen on the lidar survey is a very well-preserved length of Roman road running through peat bogs to the west of the modern road. The road is a typical Roman construction being 5.5 to 5.7m wide with a slightly cambered agger (raised causeway) with a compacted clay and gravel surface and small drainage ditches to either side.

Roman Roads in North-West Wales by David Hopewell

Roman Roads in North-West Wales is a new publication by Gwynedd Archaeological Trust. It describes the results of a ten-year project that has reassessed all of the evidence for Roman roads in the region and has resurveyed the known surviving portions. The book incorporates evidence from well over a hundred years of previous work by a wide range of researchers, as well as the results of the Trust's Cadw grant-aided Roman roads project and the latest discoveries from geophysical and Lidar survey. The book examines the distinctive archaeology of Roman roads in the upland regions. These are very different to the well- known roads running in straight alignments through the lowlands of England but are still recognisably Roman. The book is well illustrated and carefully referenced and should appeal to newcomers to the subject and experienced researchers alike.

The author, David Hopewell is a Senior Archaeologist at Gwynedd Archaeological Trust. He has published both academic and popular articles on a wide range of archaeological topics and specialises in the archaeology of Roman Wales and geophysical survey.

Hen Gastell: Neuadd Ganoloesol yn Llanwnda - Sgwrs gan Jane Kenney o Ymddiriedolaeth Archaeolegol Gwynedd (YAG)

Tachwedd 24ain 2016 am 7.30 o'r gloch yng Nghanolfan Gymunedol Llanwnda

Yn 2014 cynhaliodd YAG gloddfa gymunedol yn Hen Gastell, Llanwnda er mwyn ymchwilio heneb gyda ffos a chlawdd mawr y tybiwyd ar y cychwyn i fod yn dyddio o Oes yr Haearn. Datgelodd y gloddfa gylchran o dyllau pyst mawrion ac argoelion gefail. Cadarnhaodd dadansoddiadau carbon-ddyddio ôl-gloddfa mai olion adeilad mawr o'r cyfnod canoloesol oedd yma – yn cyfateb i faenordy.

Bydd Jane Kenney, a gyfarwyddodd y gloddfa, yn disgrifio'r hyn ddarganfyddwyd, a sut mae'r gloddfa wedi newid ein dealltwriaeth o'r safle.Bydd te a choffi ar gael wedi'r sgwrs.

Hen Gastell: A Medieval Hall in Llanwnda - Talk by Jane Kenney of Gwynedd Archaeological Trust (GAT)

7.30pm on 24th November 2016 at Llanwnda Community Centre

In 2014 GAT ran a community excavation at Hen Gastell, Llanwnda to investigate a monument with a large ditch and bank that was initially thought to be Iron Age in date. The excavations revealed an arc of large postholes and traces of a blacksmithy. Post-excavation analysis with radiocarbon dates showed that these were the remains of a large building of medieval date, equivalent to a manor house.

Jane Kenney, who directed the dig, will describe what was found and how the excavation changed the understanding of the site. Tea and coffee will be available after the talk.

The full report for the excavation at Hen Gastell is now available to download from this page.

Archaeological Field Survey 2 Day Training Course for Young People
Thursday and Friday April 9th and 10th (Easter holidays) 2015

This two day course is aimed at young people (aged 25 and under) that are interested in volunteering with Gwynedd Archaeological Trust or are thinking about a career in archaeology. This is a rare opportunity for young people to gain experience in the field in the company of professional archaeologists. The techniques that will be focused on are typical of archaeological upland survey. They will include recording locational and photographic data, writing descriptive records and drawing site sketches. We will also introduce the techniques used in undertaking a full scale plan of a site.

By the end of the two days it is anticipated that young people on the course will have developed enough skills to be able to accompany archaeologists to record similar data as volunteers on designated volunteer recording days.

We will be out on site both days so volunteers will need to wear suitable outdoor clothing for the forecast weather conditions, sturdy footwear and bring their own refreshments in a small ruck sack. Further guidance and support with waterproof clothing and travel arrangements will provided. The main pick up point will be in Bangor. Please contact us to discuss your needs. All archaeological equipment will be provided. This training day has been made possible due to funding from GwirVol. Hours spent volunteering may be eligible to be counted towards the Millenium Volunteers Award.

Contact anita.daimond@heneb.co.uk 01248 366970. Please book by Thursday March 26 th . Places are limited so prompt booking is recommended.

Bore gwirfoddoli cofnodi mynwent St Baglan, Llanfaglan ger Caernarfon ar Ddydd Sadwrn 29 Tachwedd 2014, 10yb-1yp
Mae croeso i pobl sydd wedi gwneud y math hyn o waith o'r blaen neu pobl di-brofiad ymuno. Mi fyddwn ni'n ceisio cwblhau'r cofnod ar gyfer y fynwent wnaeth cael ei gychwyn gan aelodau Archaeolegwyr Anturus Eryri ym Mis Ionawr. Ers hynny mae pobl ifanc oedd ar brofiad gwaith ym Mis Gorffennaf a pobl wnaeth gwirfoddolwyr ym Mis Medi wedi bwrw ‘mlaen gyda'r gwaith cofnodi.

Gadewch i Anita Daimond wybod erbyn Dydd Mercher 26 Tachwedd os oes diddordeb gyda chi i ymuno.
