Pwllheli to Blaenau Ffestiniog Gas Pipeline

In 2011 Wales and West Utilities replaced a major gas pipeline from Pwllheli to Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd, North Wales. As well as being an engineering project Wales and West Utilities had to mitigate any potential damage to archaeological sites along the route so it also became a significant archaeological project, with Gwynedd Archaeological Trust commissioned to carry out the archaeological work.
