In March 2016 we were in the Llanymynech area of Powys, searching for evidence of a supposed Roman fort. After studying historical sources, a geophysical survey by Ian Brooks of EAS Ltd, fieldwalking and opening several trenches, we concluded that there is in fact no evidence at all for the existence of Clawdd Coch Fort.
Banwen Mosaic
A month later we undertook a watching brief at Banwen, near Neath, looking for evidence of the Roman road to Brecon. There was no sign of the road, but we did see a fantastic mosaic in the village, marking Banwen’s
place on the map of Roman Wales.
