Sirs/Ma'ams,

I write further to my email of 9 August 2026 submitting a review concerning Cadw’s 1988 assessment of Great House Farm (Ty Mawr), Llandough.

Please find attached (and linked below) a revised edition of the report, dated 10 August 2026. This version has been carefully restructured to present the same evidence in a more measured and administratively focused form. It is offered as a request for historical record correction, archival explanation, and administrative acknowledgement rather than as a forensic challenge.

The revised document:

• Clearly states what it is and is not;
• Sets out the surviving independent evidence (principally the H.J. Thomas RCAHMW survey of 1974);
• Notes the near-total absence of Cadw’s 1988 working papers confirmed in ATISN 27021;
• Asks only for realistic, achievable administrative steps: explanation of the archival position, reflection of the surviving evidence in the Historic Environment Record, acknowledgement of the records gap, and consideration of a local heritage marker.

It does not claim unlawfulness, seek compensation from Cadw, or demand a public inquiry.

I hope this revised presentation is more palatable and will assist the relevant bodies in providing a constructive response.

I look forward to your substantive response.

Regards,

Sion Buckler (Ret’d Sgt)
