The Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust and the Archaeology Data Service
are pleased to announce that the Regional Sites and Monuments Record
maintained by CPAT has been incorporated into the ADS Catalogue. This
SMR covers the unitary authorities of Denbighshire, Flintshire, Powys
(which includes most of the Brecon Beacons National Park), Wrexham and
the eastern part of Conwy. It covers some 7,500 square kilometres of
north-east and central Wales, ranging in character from the open uplands
of the Cambrian Mountains and the Brecon Beacons, to the rich river
valleys of the Severn and the Clwyd.
Over 31,000 of CPAT's records are now available through ArchSearch
reflecting the wealth and diversity of the region's historic landscape.
Sites recorded range in date from the Palaeolithic to the twentieth
century, and include extensive funerary and ritual complexes of the
Neolithic and Bronze Age, dramatic chains of Iron Age hillforts, the
settlements, roads and forts of the Romans, and the farms, villages,
castles and churches of Wales' Dark Age and Medieval kingdoms.
The records in ArchSearch include
- the name of the site or monument
- a description of the site or monument
- earliest and latest dates of archaeological events
- the County SMR from which the record is drawn
- bibliographic sources from which the record is compiled
- subject and period information
- archaeological interventions
- the site/monument location (including OS Grid Reference)
