Abstract
Barclodiad y Gawres; comparative notes on the decorated stones
Frances M Lynch
1 - 22
New study of the carvings of this Anglesey passage-grave in their Irish Sea and W European context indicates closer links with Irish material than was previously thought. The designs were conceived by an artist of considerable ability, approached in the Irish Sea area only by the artists of Fourknocks and Newgrange. Even these, so far as is known, did not achieve the unity of design seen at Barclodiad y Gawres. Moreover, the Irish parallels come from tombs of widely differing plans, and no chronological conclusions can be drawn. The likelihood of Iberian parallels has already been treated by the excavators. Very little connection with the art of Bryn Celli Ddu or the Calderstones can be seen. Similarly, in Breton passage-grave art there is little evidence of the integrated patterns achieved at Barclodiad y Gawres, although some interchange of ideas between Brittany and Ireland is possible - cf Seskillgreen and Gavrinis.
Excavations at Caerleon, 1966; barracks in the north corner
Leslie M Threipland
23 - 56
Trenches cut across the contubernia revealed five periods of occupation of the barracks in the N corner; but the material unearthed is insufficient to permit more than provisional dating. The earliest timber buildings on stone sills, corresponding to initial building throughout Caerleon, were replaced by stone constructions occupied until mid-2nd cent. Period 3, probably second half of 2nd cent, is represented by concrete/cement flooring and resurfacing. It is followed by similar work, plus rebuilding of main and partition walls, in early 3rd cent (on dating of tile-stamps, including antoniniana). The fifth and final period, with further reflooring, is dated by coins of Gallienus and Allectus and pottery; this reinforces other evidence that the legion, or part of it, was still in residence in late 3rd/4th cents.

Masonry castles in Wales and the Marches

71 - 132
The list, which complements the 1963 catalogue of early castles (mainly of earth and timber), covers the area from Severn Estuary to Mersey, and includes all castles and other structures known to have included masonry defences dated between 1066 and end of 16th cent. Early castles which survived well into 13th cent without being rebuilt in stone are also noted. The E limit of the survey is the 60km E line in National Grid squares SJ, SO and ST. The sites are listed numerically by NGR and alphabetically, with references and brief descriptions. Illustrative maps complete the catalogue. There are 249 items, including (in addition to castles) fortified towns and villages, residential towers, strong houses, and fortified ecclesiastical enclosures (see also 68/275).
Skenfrith Castle Monmouthshire: when was it built?
Oswin E Craster
133 - 158
SO 457203. Excavation of the castle interior showed that the curtain wall had been built on the old ground level, with a contemporary range of domestic buildings inside the W wall. An intended E range had been abandoned because of river flooding. The apparent motte was illusory: gravel from the (revetted) ditches had been tipped inside the castle to raise the courtyard level. The round keep had been built on a slag layer covering this, with thick foundations incorporating re-used building material. In the second half of 13th cent, the W range was altered to give more accommodation above flood level, part of the original hall being relegated to cellar space. Pottery (12th to 14th cents) includes unglazed cooking pots with infolded rims, and rouletted and glazed jugs, one from SW France. Apart from a fireplace inserted into the W range, the masons marks and moulding stops are consistently early 13th cent and, despite recorded expenditure in 1183-1201, the present castle was probably built between 1219 and 1232.
