Summary of 2002 projects

THE AMMANFORD DISTRIBUTOR ROAD, CARMARTHENSHIRE
NGR: SN 6063 0981

Two sites of archaeological interest were investigated along the proposed route of the road. Geophysical survey at Bryn-du identified faint linear anomalies. When investigated they were proved to be of natural origin. Some possible man-made features were found in the excavation, hinting at late prehistoric activity on the site, but the results were inconclusive. Pantyffynnon was the site of a post-medieval watermill. One trench produced no archaeology, the other revealed the stone culvert, of late 18th century date or later, leading from the wheel pit. There was no evidence of an earlier mill or other medieval activity. The evaluation demonstrated that the mill remains were well preserved, and considerable detail on the plan and function of the mill might be obtained from further investigation.
