Welsh Histories — Scandal, Fraud & Concealment Uncovered (Llandough Archaeological Landscape) A confirmed Roman villa (2nd–4th century AD) was excavated in the immediate Llandough area in 1979 before modern housing construction The villa was physically destroyed by development (Corinthian Close / Tuscan Close flats) rather than preserved in situ The wider site contains a major early medieval monastic cemetery (1,000+ burials) showing long-term sacred/occupied land use Archaeology Data Service: Excavations show continuous multi-period occupation (Iron Age → Roman → post-Roman → medieval) in the same landscape zone Archaeology Data Service: The monastic settlement is not fully excavated in structural terms (monastic buildings themselves remain unlocated under church/grounds) ResearchGate: Evidence indicates the cemetery and related activity extends beyond excavated boundaries and was truncated by later disturbance Archaeology Data Service: Parts of the site were affected by post-medieval quarrying and levelling that removed archaeological deposits Archaeology Data Service: There is documented re-use and disturbance of earlier remains during later construction and agricultural phases (including graves cut through earlier structures) Archaeology Data Service: The area underwent large-scale 20th-century redevelopment (1960s–1980s housing expansion) over archaeologically sensitive ground Llandough Community Council: Great House Farm itself was demolished in 1988 after a long ownership dispute, removing a key standing historic structure from the landscape Wikipedia: Archaeological records confirm the site had high archaeological potential but was still granted residential development permission in parts of the wider zone Docslib: Excavation history shows rescue archaeology rather than full pre-development excavation of the entire complex Archaeology Data Service: The villa and later monastic complex sit in a zone where continuity of settlement is considered plausible but not fully proven in all phases ResearchGate: The landscape contains known isolated high-status finds (e.g., Roman artefacts in burials and structures) indicating material richness beyond a single excavated focus Archaeology Data Service: The monastic site is historically significant, yet no surviving above-ground monastic structures remain visible today Url: https://greathousefarm.wordpress.com Email: [email removed] Call: 02031377118 (leave voice message) Pull Requests: github.com/unclehowell/datro (bpvsbuckler branch) #WelshHistory #Llandough #RomanBritain #RomanVilla #WelshArchaeology #Archaeology #BritishArchaeology #MedievalHistory #EarlyMedieval #MonasticSite #CemeteryArchaeology #Heritage #HeritageSites #LostHistory #HiddenHistory #ArchaeologicalRecord #LandscapeArchaeology #Excavation #RescueArchaeology #HistoricWales #WalesHistory #SouthWalesHistory #CardiffHistory #ValeOfGlamorgan #RomanWales #PostRomanBritain #IronAgeBritain #CulturalHeritage #DevelopmentVsHeritage #cardiff
