# SAMs_5km

ImpactComment:
An existing wind turbine stands c.230m to the southwest of this round barrow very close to the line of sight towards Blaenpant. The top of the proposed turbine will be visible in the distance, but would only create a minimal, additional, visual impact to this round barrow, with no impact on the setting of the monument.

Distance:
4km to the north-northeast of the turbine

Setting:
Crug Bach was constructed on the valley slope overlooking the head of a minor tributary valley of the Afon Pedran, to the southwest. The land here was enclosed in post medieval times and the monument now stands in an enclosed pasture field.


ImpactComment:
The blades of the proposed turbine may be just visible in the distance, but a larger turbine also stands c.1.45km to the southwest of the barrow on a similar line of sight. The proposed turbine would therefore only cause a minimal, additional, visual impact to the round barrow and would have no impact on its setting.

Setting:
This round barrow was constructed on a local summit with panoramic views of the dissected upland plateau which dominates the landscape of northwestern Carmarthenshire.  The surrounding land was open common into the early 19th century but was enclosed and divided into field parcels during the mid-19th century and is now mostly productive farmland. During the enclosure of the land, a large earthwork field boundary bank was built right across the round barrow. This bank remains in place.


ImpactComment:
The proposed turbine is unlikely to be visible from this site, which faces south, the turbine being to the east. The hedgerow to the east which defines the field parcel is likely to block the views to the east. The turbine would not affect views of this site or its setting.

Setting:
This Iron Age Defended Enclosure is situated on the south-facing valley slope of the Tâf valley. The land here was enclosed in post medieval times and the monument has been ploughed down and survives as a low earthwork in an enclosed pasture field.


ImpactComment:
The proposed turbine is likely to be visible from the three standing stones in this group. The 77m (to blade tip) turbine recently installed near Rhydgoch, Blaenwaun, would be on roughly the same sight line however and would dominate the smaller Blaenpant turbine. The proposed turbine would therefore have only a minimal, additional, visual impact on the SAM with no impact on the setting of the stones.

Setting:
These three standing stones would have originally been set on east-west ridge which lies to the west of the upper Tâf valley. The land, formerly part of Mynydd Llanfyrnach, was enclosed in the early 19th century and the stones now stand in a farmed landscape. The northernmost stone stands within a 19th century field boundary bank, the other two within pasture fields, the furthest up to 670m to the southeast of the northern stone. The northern stone was reportedly originally one of a pair of stones.


SAM_NAME:
Inscribed Stone near Glan-Dwr Independent Chapel

ImpactComment:
The turbine would not be visible from this location as the chapel vestry and houses on the opposite side of the road to the east will block views from the stone. There will be no impact on the modern setting of the stone or views of it.

PublicAccess:
Stands in a publicly accessible chapel burial ground

Setting:
This stone does not stand in its original position and its original setting is therefore lost. It now stands in the burial ground of Glandwr Independent chapel.


ImpactComment:
High ground to the west and frequent hedgerows and mature trees in the wider landscape and around the chapel would block any view to the proposed turbine, which would have no affect on the setting of the site.

Setting:
This ruined chapel of ease stands within a rectilinear land parcel, within the post-medieval field system. It is surrounded by mature hedgerows which include mature deciduous trees. Trees also grow on the chapel site.


ImpactComment:
This monument faces southeast, away from the turbine. Views towards the turbine, to the west, are likely to be blocked by adjacent hedgerows. The 77m to tip turbine near Rhosgoch already stands close to the line of sight between Castell Mawr and Blaenpant. The development would not affect the setting of this monument or views of it.

Distance:
3.7km to the east-southeast of the turbine

Setting:
This Iron Age Defended Enclosure is situated on a southeast facing slope, overlooking the valley in that direction. It now lies within an enclosed field, maintained as improved pasture.


SAM_NAME:
Two Round Barrows near Crossroads N of Eglwsfair-a-Churig Church

ImpactComment:
A hedgerow, mature trees and a farm building to the east-northeast of the barrow would block views towards the proposed turbine from the northern barrow of this pair. The southern barrow would not be intervisible with the turbine. The development would not affect the setting of either monument.

Distance:
3.75km to the west-southwest of the turbine

Setting:
This SAM consists of two round barrows.  The northern barrow was constructed on a ridge, overlooking the Tâf valley to the north. The southern barrow looks south to the valley of the Afon Tigen. The land was enclosed and turned into productive farmland in post medieval times and the barrow is now located within a pasture field, its northeastern side has been truncated by the construction of a post-medieval country road.


ImpactComment:
The proposed turbine would be viewed from this location through the existing Dyffryn Brodin windfarm which includes a group of larger-scale turbines. The additional visual impact from this development would therefore be considered to be minimal.

Setting:
This barrow was constructed on high ground overlooking the upper reaches of the Afon Gronw valley to the east and southeast. The land was enclosed and turned into productive farmland in post medieval times and the barrow is now located within a pasture field.


ImpactComment:
The proposed turbine would be viewed from the ridge through the existing Dyffryn Brodin windfarm which includes a group of larger-scale turbines. The additional visual impact from this development would therefore be considered to be minimal.

Setting:
This group of five Bronze Age round barrows occupy a high ridge which offers good views northwards and southwards over the undulating landscape of northwest Carmarthenshire.  Their setting has been compromised by the enclosure of the ridge in post-medieval times, creating an extensive field system, subsequent plough damage, the establishment of two farms within the group and the laying down of a system of country roads and lanes.


ImpactComment:
The proposed turbine would be viewed from this location through the two northernmost turbines in the existing Dyffryn Brodin windfarm, which are larger in scale than the proposed turbine. The additional visual impact from this development would therefore be considered to be minimal.

Setting:
This barrow was constructed on a ridge of high ground between the upper reaches of Afon Gronw valley to the east and the Afon Tigen to the west.  It seems to be positioned to have a view to the west, being just to the western side of the ridge line.  It would have enjoyed fairly panoramic views originally. The surrounding land was enclosed and turned into productive farmland in post medieval times and the barrow is now located within a pasture field.

A prehistoric standing stone re-erected in its original socket in 1991 following a small excavation by the Dyfed Archaeological Trust. As well as the socket, a couple of pits were found, one of which contained quartz fragments. The stone is a large white

Group Value:
One of several Bronze Age funerary and ritual sites on high ground to the east and southeast of Llanfyrnach.

Evidential Value:
Stone still standing, having been reset in original position

ImpactComment:
A modern agricultural shed stands to the south of the stone and would block any view of the proposed turbine.

Setting:
This stone was originally erected on the high ridgeline between the upper Tâf valley to the west and the Asen valley to the east. From here there are likely to have been extensive views to the west, in the direction of the Preseli hills, as well as towards Frenni Fawr and southwest along the Tâf. The setting of the stone has been compromised since the 19th century when a cottage was built immediately to the north and it was enclosed within a garden plot. Today it still stands within the garden adjacent to the house, with a high, evergreen hedge blocking any view in the direction of the turbine.

Distance:
1.6km to the north-northeast of the turbine


Documentation:
Poucher, P, 2011, "Possible Pond Barrows Near Llanfyrnach, Pembrokeshire: Geophysical Survey and Archaeological Evaluation"

Group Value:
One of several similar earthworks in the district which have been interpreted as possible Bronze Age pond barrows.

Evidential Value:
Denuded earthwork, subject to geophysical survey in 2011

ImpactComment:
The proposed turbine would be visible to the south but would not impact on views of this monument or on its setting, including its relationship with other barrows along the ridge.

Setting:
This possible pond barrow is one of a series of Bronze Age funerary and ritual monuments built along the ridge of high ground which runs parallel to the Tâf valley to the west. It seems to have been positioned here with the intention of having a westward view. It is not known what the original landscape was like, but in earlier post medieval times the area was part of an extensive open moorland, which was not enclosed until the early 19th century. It is now within an enclosed pasture field, close to the Tegryn to Blaenwaun road.

Distance:
1.2km to the north-northeast of the turbine


Evidential Value:
Denuded earthwork, part excavated in 2011, when no artefacts or dating evidence were found

Distance:
1.3km to the north-northeast of the turbine


Group Value:
One of several Bronze Age funerary and ritual sites on high ground to the east of the Tâf valley.

Historical Value:
Mentioned in antiquarian and archaeological sources

ImpactComment:
The top of the proposed turbine would be visible from the barrow, to the south. The turbine would not impact on the essential setting of the barrow, however, which relates to views from and to the west. It would also not impact on the relationship between the round barrow and the three "pond barrows" which lie downslope to the west.

Setting:
This large round barrow is positioned just below the top of a west-facing slope. The barrow faces the upper part of the Afon Dyfnant valley, which runs away to the main Tâf valley to the northwest. The barrow has been constructed in a "false-crest" position, just below the hill top, to make it more visible on the skyline when viewed from lower ground to the west. This is a relatively common setting for Bronze Age round barrows and cairns. It would appear, therefore, that the essential setting of the barrow relates to the slopes to its western side and related features in that direction, which include three possible Bronze Age "pond barrows." The barrow is now located within a small parcel of common land, which is surrounded by improved pasture fields which were enclosed out of the common in the early 19th century.


summary:
Castell Bach motte is situated in the SW corner of a pasture field and is fenced off from the surrounding area.  It is very overgrown with trees and bracken.  There is a ditch c.1.6m deep surrounding the mound except at the northern side where the ground

Historical Value:
Mentioned in historical and archaeological sources

ImpactComment:
This site is hidden in mature, deciduous woodland which would block views towards the turbine. The development would not affect views of the motte or its setting.

Setting:
This motte is situated at the top of the steep valley slope to the eastern side of the Afon Sien. It was presumably constructed in the 12th century to defend a territorial boundary but its context is now lost. Some 300m to the south-southwest is another motte, Castell Mawr, but the relationship between the two sites is not known. Today, Castell Bach stands, overgrown, in and area of deciduous woodland.

ImpactComment:
A mature hedgerow to the south of the spring and rising ground to the next hedgerow in that direction suggest that views towards the turbine would be blocked. It would have no impact on views of the spring or its setting.

Setting:
The location of this spring is determined by local hydrology. It is found in a pasture field, close to a hedgerow.


ImpactComment:
The top of the proposed turbine would be visible to the southeast. The turbine would not impact on the essential setting of this monument, including views from and to the west, its relationship with the other two "pond barrows" to its southwestern side, the Crug Elwyn round barrow to the east-southeast, or the two "pond barrows" 850m to the north-northeast.

Setting:
This is northernmost of three putative pond barrows near Blaenffynnon which have been positioned close together on a west-facing slope, looking towards the upper Afon Dyfnant valley and towards the Tâf valley beyond. Upslope to the east-southeast is the large round barrow of Crug Elwyn, which may be associated with the pond barrow group. The essential setting of the pond barrows therefore appears to relate to the valley to the west and the slope up to Crug Elwyn. The pond barrows are not highly visible in the landscape as they are hollows, rather than upstanding mounds. The group has been damaged by early 19th land enclosure, with a field boundary bank cutting through two of the pond barrows and the third, central barrow, being left in an improved pasture field, where it has been ploughed down during the past 200 years. Another two similar monuments are found some 850m to the north-northeast.

Distance:
420m to the north-northwest of the turbine


ImpactComment:
The top of the proposed turbine would be visible to the southeast. The turbine would not impact on the essential setting of this monument, including views from and to the west, its relationship with the other two "pond barrows" to its either side, the Crug Elwyn round barrow to the east-southeast, or the two "pond barrows" 860m to the north-northeast.

Setting:
This is central of three putative pond barrows near Blaenffynnon which have been positioned close together on a west-facing slope, looking towards the upper Afon Dyfnant valley and towards the Tâf valley beyond. Upslope to the east-southeast is the large round barrow of Crug Elwyn, which may be associated with the pond barrow group. The essential setting of the pond barrows therefore appears to relate to the valley to the west and the slope up to Crug Elwyn. The pond barrows are not highly visible in the landscape as they are hollows, rather than upstanding mounds.

Today the site seems to be within a pasture field and there is no indication the well survives. There is no known archaeology associated with this feature.


Indirectcomment:
Intervisibility and some impact possible on views of the chapel.

ImpactComment:
The proposed turbine may be visible in some views of the chapel from the south, although it is unlikely to be visible in views of the façade close to the building and the chapel itself will block the view. Trees along the hedgeline to the north would also screen views of the turbine. The chapel stands in a landscape which already has a number of turbines in it. A 77m turbine already stands 1km to the northeast and the Dyffryn Brodin windfarm lies c.1km to the southwest.
