Brecon Beacons National Park Historic Settlements

In 1993, the Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust compiled an assessment of the historic settlements of the Brecon Beacons National Park on behalf of Cadw and the National Park Authority. Ultimately ten such reports were completed between 1992 and 1995, embracing all of CPAT's area.

By 2013 it was clear that that suvey was rapidly dating and so a new survey has been undertaken, with funding from Cadw, to attempt to update the original. Each of the settlements examined can be accessed by clicking on the interactive map or by picking them from the list below. The introductory text to the report can be reached by following this link

Pick a settlement from the list below. Each link will open a separate PDF, which may take a few seconds to load, and which can be read by Adobe Acrobat.
