Download or read book Primary Trigs in Wales written by John R Davies and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-12-03 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1935 the Ordnance Survey - the UK mapping agency - began the huge task of re mapping the British Isles. This involved building and surveying over 6500 triangulation or 'trig' pillars - the familiar concrete obelisks that frequent the British landscape, countryside and mountains. The Re-triangulation took many years and was finally completed in 1962. Between 1936-37 the survey was at work in Wales. This is the tale of how the Welsh Primary pillars came to be, the reconnaissances, permissions, construction and the observations taken from them. It is the tale of the men who did the work, toiling in all weathers, shifting and transporting tons of material and equipment and the thousands of hours of effort. The result of their work was the creation the OS maps we all know and use. Today the trig pillars are redundant, overtaken by new digital mapping technologies, satellites and GPS, they remain only as analogue memorials to a hidden human endeavour. This book aims to record their labours.

Download or read book The Place Names of Wales written by Hywel Wyn Owen and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2015-02-15 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Place-Names of Wales was originally published in 1998 and reissued in 2005 in the Pocket Guide series. This current updated publication adds some thirty entries, which importantly take into consideration more recent research. The entry for each place-name provides details of historical forms and dates; analyses each name into its component linguistic elements; tracks the later linguistic development of the name and the influences upon it particularly within a bilingual society; compares the name with similar names elsewhere, and interprets that meaning within the history of Wales and in the local context having regard for the landscape and changing land-use. In addition to explaining the link between place-names and language, history and landscape, the introduction includes a section on the significance of place-name study, and a short section to allow non-Welsh speakers to understand some relevant sound-changes.

Download or read book A Welsh Landscape through Time written by Jane Kenney and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holy Island is a small island just off the west coast of Anglesey, North Wales, which is rich in archaeology of all periods. Between 2006 and 2010, archaeological excavations in advance of a major Welsh Government development site, Parc Cybi, enabled extensive study of the islands past. Over 20 hectares were investigated, revealing a busy and complex archaeological landscape, which could be seen evolving from the Mesolithic period through to the present day. Major sites discovered include an Early Neolithic timber hall aligned on an adjacent chambered tomb and an Iron Age settlement, the development of which is traced by extensive dating and Bayesian analysis. A Bronze Age ceremonial complex, along with the Neolithic tomb, defined the cultural landscape for subsequent periods. A long cist cemetery of a type common on Anglesey proved, uncommonly, to be late Roman in date, while elusive Early Medieval settlement was indicated by corn dryers. This wealth of new information has revolutionised our understanding of how people have lived in, and transformed, the landscape of Holy Island. Many of the sites are also significant in a broader Welsh context and inform the understanding of similar sites across Britain and Ireland.
