At Crugiau Cemmaes, four prominent Bronze Age barrows—part of a wider cemetery of up to nine mounds—stand alongside evidence of later prehistoric and early medieval activity. Surveys and excavations revealed Iron Age defended enclosures, including a possible hillfort, as well as a small square ditched enclosure containing a probable grave. Although no bone survived in the acidic soils, parallels suggest this forms part of an early medieval cemetery. The project has provided new insights into the multi-period use of this significant landscape and will help guide its future management.
