Summary
This document comprises the report of an archaeological watching brief

undertaken during ground work at a site identified as having potential
archaeological resources that may be impacted by any development.
The development of concern is the construction of a Dormer bungalow and

Granny annex on land historically associated 18th & 19th century industrial
transportation.
A planning application was submitted to Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough

Council (RTCBC) and as part of the planning process, Glamorgan Gwent
Archaeological Trust (GGAT) advised the planning department that the proposed
work at the site could likely impact on archaeological resources.
(RTCBC), in accordance with the guidance from GGAT imposed a condition

requiring a program of archaeological work in accordance with a design brief.
This document details an archaeological programme of work, specifically a

watching brief to be undertaken during any ground disturbing works.
The work had revealed a buried and intact section of the culvert originally running
from Lock 24 of the Glamorganshire Canal to a return just before the Star
Aqueduct over the River Taff.

Introduction
This document is the report produced from the watching brief undertaken by A.P.A.C. Ltd, on land to the rear of
Gwendoline Terrace, Abercynon. CF45 4TE.
The watching brief was commissioned in response to a proposed programme of works, to build a Dormer bungalow
on a site of disused land formerly occupied by an Emergency Services building and yard.
The client, Mr K Thomas, having submitted a planning application; through his agent Mr W Scorey of Monarch
Architectural Services Ltd, to Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council (RCTCBT) planning; (pl.app.no
13/1024/10); was granted Approval of Planning Permission, with conditions; one of which required that:
The developer shall ensure that a suitably qualified archaeologist is present during the
undertaking of any ground disturbing works in the development area, so that an archaeological
watching brief can be conducted. The archaeological watching brief shall be undertaken to the
standards of the Institute for Archaeologists. The Local Planning Authority shall be informed, in
writing, at least two weeks prior to the commencement of the development of the name of the said
archaeologist and no work shall begin until the Local Planning Authority has confirmed, in
writing, that the proposed archaeologist is suitable. A copy of the watching brief report shall be
submitted to the Local Planning Authority within two months of the fieldwork being completed by
the archaeologist.
(pl.app.no 13/1024/10)
Reason: To identify and record any features of archaeological interest discovered during the
works, in order to mitigate the impact of the works on the archaeological resource.
(GGAT: RCT0277/JBHD)
The program of archaeological work involved a watching brief during all ground disturbance work.
Site Location and Description
The location of the site NGR: 308397 194993 can be gained from the A470; when travelling north from Cardiff,
take the first slip road left after Pontyprydd onto the B4275, fig 01.
Continue along the B4275 across the River Taff and take the first left onto Gwendoline Terrace.
Geology and Topography
The town of Abercynon is situated at the confluence of the Afon Cynon and the River Taff; at the southern end of
one of the SE/SE valleys in this area that open to the Taff Vale.
The site is on top of a spur of land above the confluence of the rivers; hemmed in by the rail link to the south east,
the B4275 to the east and rows of terraced houses to the north and west.
The underlying solid geology of Abercynon is predominantly made up of the Brithdir Member Mudstone, Siltstone,
and sandstone overlain by River Terrace Deposits of sand and gravel:
(BGS 2014).
Brief archaeological and historical background
The site is of interest as it lies on the site of Lock Isaf; lock number 24 and the lowest of a flight of 14 locks on the
canal which opened in the 1790s, (GGAT : RCT0277/JBHD).
5
Early ordnance survey mapping suggests that the site may have been occupied by buildings within a loop of the
feeder brook, (ibid).
The Merthyr to Cardiff canal was constructed between 1790 and 1794; original engineers employed were Thomas
Dadford and sons, assisted by Thomas Sheasby, who were contracted for the work by the Merthyr Ironmasters
Richard Crawshay and Francis Homfrey, (Rowson & Wright, P13. 2001)..
Differences amongst the Ironmasters of Merthyr over control of the canal led to the construction of an alternative
means of transport in the form of the 1802 tram road from Merthyr to the Abercynon basin (ibid.).
The tram road would eventually evolve into the The Taff Vale Railway, 1836, a more reliable and preferred mode of
transport from Merthyr to Cardiff.
By the latter part of the 19th century, the canal was already in serious decline when deep mining forced closure of
the Merthyr section in 1898, Aberdare in 1900, and Abercynon in 1915, (ibid.).
The earliest survey of the area, readily available is that of Harrison’s 1830 survey of the Abercynon locks, fig 02,
(ibid, p155).
A description is added on page 257 which gives details of the flight of 16 locks the last one being No 24 Lock Isaf
which used to abut the site to be developed.
The survey does not mention ‘Abercynon’ as the hamlet did not yet exist, the centre of focus being the Navigation
basin just over the aqueduct which also served as the transhipment basin for the 1802 tramroad.
On the survey inset, the present site would occupy the dark area above the word ‘Cynnon’ but beneath the curve of
the canal and turnpike road, which both share the aqueduct to the right.
It is noticeable that no buildings are marked but they may have been outside the interest of the survey.
The first series Ordnance Survey Map three years later shows the area of the site, identifiable from the confluence of
the two rivers and the nearby Navigation House fig 2a.
Apart from that, there is little else of interest with the possible exception of a single building, roughly in the area of
the site.
Just over half a century later, the 1884 1st edition ordnance survey map, fig 3b, depicts the position of the
development site in more detail and confirms the lack of any buildings in the vicinity; although it does show the
position of the lock and Lock Isaf Bridge (Rowson & Wright, p264. 2001).
The position of the development site is approximately demarcated by the small loop of the lock sluice with its 90º
return to the canal; (centre of fig).
The western side of the sluice loop is edged with the towpath for the canal, which is shown going over the sluice in
the southern corner of the loop.
The surrounding area is marked as fields with wooded areas north and west.
The map of the same location in 1898, fig 03c, shows an increase in building work in the area indicating that the
fields and the woods to the west had been cleared.
North of the sluice is a single block building with a further row to the north, (the area between would become
Gwendoline Terrace).
Towards the east, across the canal further buildings have been erected the first shown as an Inn and the second listed
later in 1914 as a chapel.
The sluice is still present but appears to have a building at the Lock Isaf Bridge and the towpath seems to stop at the
sluice edge rather than bridge it.
The next map in the sequence fig 03d shows further encroachment of buildings on the site, with terraces to the north
6
and west.
The scarp to the west is well formed and a ‘V’ shaped building has been erected. Apparently, this was a bakery and
the owner’s daughter was called Gwendoline and gave her name to Gwendoline Terrace, (Mr K Thomas, pers
comm.).
The significant change to the site however is the new building which has been built across the southern edge of the
sluice.
Lock Isaf Bridge is also clearly depicted rising from the south east and turning west over the canal and towpath.
The building recorded in 1898 abutting the Lock Isaf Bridge has gone and the area has reverted to two parallel
rectangular structures.
The final map in the sequence records the location in 1948 Fig 03 e and shows that the sluice and possibly lock has
been removed (filled in possibly).
Aims and Objectives
The aim of the watching brief was to preserve by record, within the resources available, any archaeological deposits
uncovered during groundwork.
The watching brief also ensured that: in the event of archaeological resources of significance, being discovered and
requiring treatment beyond the remit of the watching brief, that steps would be implemented to ensure that their
treatment would be undertaken within the standards recommended by the IFA.
Watching Brief
The watching brief was undertaken over three days 15th, 18th & 19th of September 2014.
All excavation was undertaken by mechanical digger with the exception of some clearance work to the sluice culvert
in trench 1, which was cleared by hand digging.
The ground over most of the excavated portion of the site was a little unstable, consisting mostly of rubble backfill
made up ground.
The extent of the instability can be seen in the trench survey which was taken at the end of excavation.
It also dictated a modification to the trench design with some of the narrower internal spaces reduced to wider
trenches.
The general the sequence of excavation is shown in fig 04; however, trenches 1 and 5 had later extensions 1a & 5a
respectively, due to archaeology in trench 1 and logistics of access in trench 5.
Initial recording
A record of the stratigraphy of each trench was made during excavation.
The work was recorded digitally throughout using a Sony DSC F828 Camera set to 8mp, Jpeg & RAW format.
All finds recovered were recorded to context and sealed in bags numbered with finds sequence and context.
The trench positions were recorded with a GPT3007, reflectorless EDM.
Post Ex
Following the watching brief, the field notes and photographs were digitised to produce the context record of the
stratigraphy, Appendix 1, and an annotated list of the photographs, Appendix II.
7
All finds were individually processed; (washed, dried, catalogued and re-bagged), and then recorded in Appendix
III.
The three appendices; I Context, II Photographs and III Finds were cross referenced ready for inclusion in the
report.
All data recorded with the EDM was downloaded into CivilCad 6.7 for initial processing and exported to AutoCad
for detail work and overlaying to national grid before final production in Illustrator.
A basic search was undertaken into the readily available history and back ground of the site as required for a
watching brief.
This report was produced for the client, RCTCBC Planning and GGAT as well as archive copies for Glamorgan
Archive.

Photographs used in the text are listed Pl #, A complete list of photographs can be found in appendix II.
All finds denoted {#} in the text and are listed in Appendix III.
The trench positions are shown in Fig 04 the assigned TR numbers related to the digging sequence.
The raised concrete platform [100], PL 01, and its foundation wall [101], PL02, were removed in order to level the
ground prior to setting out.
Apart from the flooring, the only remains of the building that stood on [100] was the stub wall along the southern
boundary, which showed evidence of having had corrugated cladding, PL03.
Trench 1 & 1a
Excavation of trench 1 began at the extreme south west corner of the proposed foundation and continued east
through a very unstable fill of landfill [102], PL04.
The land fill was confused with a tumble of mortared rubble towards the western end, which as the trench
progressed, revealed itself as two walls of a possible culvert [103], PL05.
The culvert was first noticed as a small black void, which close inspection revealed had a metal lintel [112]
supporting the wall [101] and was producing a small draft of airflow.
At this point, the digger was removed from the area and GGAT were contacted.
It was agreed that the feature should be recorded as well as possible and so the entrance was cleared by hand, PL06.
The hole turned out to be walled channel of ash mortared masonry walls [103] over which was a supporting frame
made of lengths of old railway line, PL07.
The supports [103] in turn were covered with squared Pennant sandstone slabs [113] as can be seen in PL08.
Once the culvert entrance was cleared of the spoil from the digger, it was possible to get a clearer view of the inside,
allowing measurements to be taken with a Lecia Disto.
The culvert width was 1.4m wide with a surviving depth at the lintel of 700mm, PL09.
The lintel [112] which spanned from the two side walls [103] supported the foundation of the raised wall [101].
The floor of the culvert [104] was close fitted; very water worn, stone slabs that dished towards the centre of the
channel dropping by 40mm PL09.
8
The covered floor of the culvert was covered by a thick layer of silt with an unpleasant, creosote type odour when
disturbed, [115].
The length of the culvert from the front lintel was found to be 11.3m with a possible curve to the south PL10; just
visible at the back from the shine of a torch on wet walls.
Once the culvert had been recorded, the mechanical digger returned in order to remove 3.5m of the culvert roof in
order to continue the foundation of the proposed building; trench 1a.
It was during this part of the work that it was realised that a few wooden stakes running out of the northern bank,
[114], PL11 and possibly the telegraph pole shown PL04, may have also been part of the cover for the backfilled
culvert.
Plate PL11 also shows the initial removal of wall [102] behind which was an infill of brown sandy soil and angular
rubble [108], PL112, the foundation for the concrete floor [100].
As the trench progressed, the structural construction/capping of the culvert was revealed, PL13 shows the slab
covering [113], PL14 the ash mortared walls, [103] and the differing gauge of rail [112] one of which is shown in
section in PL15.
Once the trench had reached the required length, the north wall [113] was breached to join trench 4, PL16.
Consultation with the engineer and the site manager, ascertained that it would be possible to block the culvert with a
wall at the point shown PL16 and cover the exposed base [104] in ‘Terram’ which could be filled with concrete to
form the foundation, thereby leaving the remains in situ.
The only in situ finds {3} from the site were collected from the silt [115] inside the entrance to the culvert.
Trench 2
Trench 2 can be seen under the prism and ranging rod, to the bottom left of PL17, which also shows the overall
layout of the trenches towards the end of the watching brief period.
Trench 2 was a short 4m length at 90° to trench 1 to meet trench 3 at a ‘T’ junction.
Plate PL18 shows trench 2 complete; to the left is some remnant of the north wall of [103] with the black infill [102]
in the foreground.
Beyond [103] which appears to form an edge, the stratigraphic sequence is different with the addition of contexts
[105] an orange sandy clay over [106] orange clay with rounded stones.
Wall [103] was cut into [105] [106] but there was no clear evidence discernable in the form of a cut or trench fill as
the wall had been removed at some point in the past becoming part of the general land fill.
Trench 3
The sequence in trench 3 is clearly seen from trench 2 in the photograph PL18; 600mm of [102] over 200mm of
[105] over [106] total depth 1.2m.
Another view of trench 3, this time looking west along its length can be seen in PL19 which provides a good
illustration of the trench contexts and friable nature.
An interesting detail of the infill can be seen in PL20, the remains of the top of a telegraph pole with insulators and
wire; possibly related to the pole in PL04.
There was a difference at the eastern end however, with the remains of a brick wall [116], Plate 21, which appeared
to be roughly aligned with [101], although the short available length made it difficult to confirm.
There is a suggestion that the wall may have been an internal automobile maintenance pit in which case the exposed
section would be the outer wall of the western side, pers comm. (Contractor).
9
The partial pit shape was picked up in the survey prior to the excavation of trenches 3 and 9.
Beneath the wall [101] was a localised layer of fine black silt [109] which had a definite edge, cut [110] into [106].
Trench 4
Trench 4 was parallel to trench 2 and shares the same stratigraphic sequence with the exception of an intact length
[103] at its southern edge; the removal of which is shown in PL14 above in the section of trench 1a.
Trench 5
Trench 5 was the narrowest and longest trench of the excavation, measuring just over 14m x 1m, it was excavated in
two phases; 5 and 5a, due to accessibility requirements for the mechanical digger.
The first 9m continued the stratigraphic sequence similar to that of trench 3 although the depth of fill [102]
decreased towards the north, PL22.
The sequence changed however, at the point where the ranging rod stands; the ground became soft with a shallow
pocket of rounded, water washed gravel [107] over a layer of soft orange/red sandy clay [111].
At this point; which happened to correspond with the end of trench 10, trench 5a was deepened to 1.4m in an
attempt to find solid ground, PL23.
The depths of stratigraphic contexts in both in 5a and 10 are illustrated in PL23:
a reduced [102] at 240mm,

an increased 350mm of [105],
200mm of [106]
100mm of [107]
A minimum of 400mm for [111] at limit of trench bottom.
Trench 6
Trench 6, just beyond the pair of legs, was excavated as a 4m return towards the east from trench 5 and had identical
stratigraphy PL24.
Trench 7
Trench 7 was excavated from the east end of trench 6 starting with a small southern turn of about 1.5m before
continuing east for 6 meters.
Again, the stratigraphy was the same but this time the instability of the ground meant that the sides around the turn
section gave way, which can be seen on the survey layout.
Trenches 8 & 9
Trenches 8 and 9 were two parallel trenches joining trench 7 to trench 3.
Both had identical sequences to 7 including the instability, although the wall [116] and silt [109] were included at
the junction of trench 3 and trench 9.
Trenches 10 & 11
The western end of trench 10; as discussed above with trench 5, included the contexts of [107] & [111].
The [107] & [111] anomaly was however confined to around the last meter or so at the western end whereas the
majority of the trench consisted of the standard site sequence [102] [105] [106], PL25; albeit with a slight increase
in the depth of [102].
The view in PL25 shows the ranging rod laying against trench 12 with the northern end of trench 11 to the right.
10
Under around 350mm of spoil, context [102] increased to approximately 1m in depth and included a greater
percentage of roots, the majority of which appeared to be infill rather than in situ growth.
The loose rooting served to increase the instability of the trenches resulting in their frequent tendency for collapse as
can be seen in PL26 a view along trench 14 during its excavation, junction of trench 13 to the left opposite the
ranging rod.
Trench 15 proved to be the same sequence with the increased depth of backfill.
Finds
The finds consisted of three assemblages, two of which were collected from surface spoil at the end of the second
and third day’s activity.
Assemblage {1} was mostly ceramic with a date typology from mid 18th to early 20th century and in keeping with
domestic/industrial period debitage.
Assemblage {2} ceramic & glass dated to late 19th century, again domestic/industrial.
Assemblage {3}, recovered from the silt inside the culvert was mostly machine parts; included was an automobile
coil and glass fluid filter cover.
Possible the most surprising thing about the finds were that they were so few.
Interpretation
The deep layer of fill [102] is testament to a large amount of groundwork that has gone on at the site in order to
provide a level; possibly associated with the building that was erected according to the map progression fig 03,
between 1898 and 1914, after the canal had gone into decline.
The pre 1914 building, represented by the remains [100] & [101] was constructed over the pre existing and at that
point in time, disused culvert which used to take the water from lock 24 and feed it back to the canal just before the
viaduct.
At the building, the culvert had been bridged with sections of railway line and capped with well cut stone slab to
provide a base for the building’s foundation.
Why the culvert was not filled in is not known but possibly, it still had some purpose at the time of the building’s
construction.
To the west of the covered section, the culvert seems to have been progressively demolished and back filled with
some attempt at covering with wooden poles and posts.
This different phase is probably later than the 1914 build and maybe associated with the removal of the canal lock
itself and thus its purpose, even if just for drainage.
There was no sigh of the culvert’s upper section, fig 03, from the lock nor indeed, the lock itself; however the
increase in depth of fill towards the north west of the site would tend to indicate that its position would not be far
beyond the edge of this site.
It is noted on the early maps that the road used to turn east up an incline to a bridge over the lock whereas now the
road carries straight on.
