Wetland Margins Survey Cors Caron

This Cadw-funded study explores the rich archaeological potential of Ceredigion’s inland raised bog at Cors Caron, following earlier work on the estuarine bog of Cors Fochno. Documentary research and fieldwork—including trial trenching, surveys, and GIS mapping—have revealed significant evidence of past activity, from a castle site at Llwyngwinau to earthworks linked with a medieval grange at Maesglas. The study highlights the importance of wetland margins, where prehistoric, Roman, and medieval remains have been preserved, and emphasises the role of local landowners and stakeholders in managing this fragile resource. The results provide a framework for planners and decision-makers to ensure that the unique archaeological heritage of Ceredigion’s wetlands is recognised and protected for the future.
