Showcasing archaeology and heritage in Ceredigion
Dyfed Archaeological Trust will be hosting an Archaeology Day celebrating the archaeology and heritage of Ceredigion at the Morlan Centre in Aberystwyth on Saturday 5 March from 10am to 4.30pm.

Projects which will be covered on the day include:

• The story of Pont Ceunant, a Victorian Hydro-Electric Power Station for the Frongoch Metal Mine
• Neolithic, Roman and Early Medieval activity in north Ceredigion: New evidence from recent excavations
• Ynyslas Slate Hulk: the highs and lows of recording an intertidal shipwreck
• Recent Excavations at Mill Street Car Park, Aberystwyth
• The developing archaeology and history of Llanrhystud, its eroding beach and cliffs in their wider coastal setting
Speakers include Louise Barker, Archaeological Investigator and Iestyn Jones, Project Manager for Archaeology Wales. Dyfed Archaeological Trust’s Ken Murphy and James Meek will also be speaking during the day.
