Many holy wells in our area are known only from written sources, but because none of these go back to the Middle Ages, some of them had been entered on the HER as post-medieval or period unknown. We visited all the unscheduled examples that looked as though they had reasonable surviving structures associated with them, . We were specially interested in wells that had close associations with churches or medieval chapels, or Early Christian or prehistoric monuments, or for which there was written evidence for use from before 1750.

This project looked at medieval churches and chapels which had been abandoned. We visited all those that were neither scheduled nor listed, and that looked as though they had reasonable surviving structures associated with them, particularly those associated with monastic properties or holy wells, or Early Christian or prehistoric monuments, or for which there was written evidence for use from before 1750.

Human remains are eroding out of the cliff, from a cemetery at Cwm Nash on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast. The Trust has been grant-aided by Cadw to carry out two small salvage excavations to deal with graves that had been exposed, and a survey to try to discover how large the cemetery is and how close to the cliff edge are the next graves.
