Executive Summary
This archaeological desk-based assessment has been researched and prepared by CgMs
Consulting, on behalf of Cwm Taf NHS Trust. It assesses the archaeological potential of an
area of land at Aberdare Hospital, Aberdare, which is being promoted for development.
It
provides an assessment of the potential for significant archaeology in accordance with the
policies contained within the current Local Plan and the Deposit Draft Local Development Plan.
There are no Scheduled Monuments or other sites with cultural heritage statutory designations
located within or in the immediate environs of the study site. The study site does not lie within
a Registered Historic Landscape or within a Conservation Area. The Scheduled Ancient
Monument (SAM GM527) lies over 300m to the west of the study site and Aberdare Park a
Cadw Registered Park lies 800m to the west. Neither Abernant House nor any of the buildings
associate with the hospital are listed buildings. The study site has low potential for all periods
until the 19th century, when Abernant House and gardens were built. During the same period
the very north of the site contained stable buildings relating to the Abernant Iron Works.
The assessment concludes that the archaeological potential of the study site is not of sufficient
importance to constrain development and that no areas of archaeological significance or
ancient monuments, as referred to by Policy CON7 of the Rhondda Cynon Taf (Cynon Valley)
Local Plan will be destroyed or adversely affected. In the absence of any archaeological
deposits, remains or features it is concluded that the archaeological potential for the site is low
and that no further archaeological work is necessary on the west side of the site. The loss of
the remains associated with Abernant House could be mitigated, if appropriate, through a
photographic record of specific features.

INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF STUDY
1.1
This archaeological desk-based assessment has been researched and prepared by
Hannah Heard and Greg Pugh of CgMs Consulting, commissioned by Cwm Taf NHS
Trust. This report assesses the archaeological potential of an area of land at Aberdare
Hospital, Aberdare, which is being promoted for development.
1.2
The assessment considers an area of land approximately 18.7 hectares in extent,
located on the north side of Aberdare.
The study site is centred on National Grid
Reference 300560, 203270.
1.3
In accordance with government guidance on archaeology and planning (Welsh Office
Circular
60/96)
this
assessment
draws
together
the
available
archaeological,
topographic and land-use information in order to clarify the archaeological potential of
the Proposed Development Site.

PLANNING BACKGROUND AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN FRAMEWORK
2.1
In March 2002 the Welsh Assembly issued ‘Planning Policy Wales’ which sets out the
Government’s land-use planning policies in Wales. In particular, the guidance lists
relevant legislation and sets out policy guidance relevant to the historic environment.
In November 2004 the Wales Spatial Plan was adopted and this has since been
updated following the approval of the Wales Spatial Plan 2008 Update. The Wales
Spatial Plan is designed to ensure that the Welsh Assembly Government can make the
right investment decisions across Wales. It contains a commitment to preserve and
enhance the quality of the archaeological sites and historic monuments of Wales.
2.2
Planning Policy Wales draws attention to the significance of nationally important
archaeological remains, whether scheduled or not, and the desirability of preserving a
listed building. In other instances, the physical preservation of archaeological remains
may not be justified and guidance is provided on procedures for assessing
archaeological remains during the planning process and recording them ahead of
development (paras 6.5.1-6.5.13).
2.3
More detailed advice and guidance on procedures was issued in Welsh Office Circular
60/96 ‘Planning and the Historic Environment: Archaeology’ (December 1996) and
61/96 ‘Planning and the Historic Environment: Historic Buildings and Conservation
Areas’ (December 1996). Circular 60/96 encourages early consultation on proposals,
promotes the assessment of the archaeological implications of development proposals,
provides guidance on the circumstances and scope of field evaluations, options for
physical preservation (in situ) and archaeological excavation and recording, and
provides model conditions to secure archaeological objectives.
2.4
In considering any planning application for development, the planning authority will be
mindful of the policy framework set by this government guidance, by current
Development Plan policy and by other material considerations.
2.5
In this instance Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council is the planning authority.
The Development Plan Framework in the County Borough is currently provided by The
Rhondda Cynon Taf (Cynon Valley) Local Plan 1996 - 2006 (adopted January 2004).
The plan was originally prepared by the former Cynon Valley Borough Council. The
following policies relating to Archaeology is contained with the Local Plan:

2.6
The Division is currently preparing a new Local Development Plan (LDP) in accordance
with the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and this plan will supersede the
existing development plan framework upon adoption in July 2010. The Rhondda Cynon
Taf County Borough Council Deposit Draft Local Development Plan 2006-2021 contains
the following policy that provide a framework for the consideration of development
proposals affecting archaeological and heritage features.

GEOLOGY AND TOPOGRAPHY
3.1
Geology
3.1.1
The underlying superficial geology of the study site is identified as comprising
diamicton till (Devensian) Deposits. The underlying solid geology consists of
mudstone, siltstone and sandstone deposits of the South Wales Middle Coal Measures
Formation (British Geological Survey Sheet 231, Merthyr Tydfil, 1979).
3.1.2
There have been no geo-technical boreholes or trial pits carried out within the study
site to date.
3.2
Topography
3.2.1
The study site is located on the north side of Aberdare and sits on a southwest facing
slope above the River Cynon/Afon Cynon. The site lies at c. 160m Above Ordnance
Datum (AOD) at the north end, falling to 130m AOD at the south. The area occupied
by the hospital buildings has been terraced and landscaped in order to accommodate
the buildings and car parks. This area is not flat, but lies between 150m AOD and
140m AOD.

The Historic Environment Record (HER) for the Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough
Council is held by GGAT. This database contains information relating to known
archaeological and historical sites within the area. Only HER entries within a 1km
radius of the centre of the Proposed Development Site were reviewed. The Royal
Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW) was also
consulted for any additional records that this may contain using the same search
radius. Data provided by both sources is included in Appendix A of this report.
4.1.2
There are no Scheduled Monuments within the study site or its surrounding area and it
does not lie within, or adjacent to a Registered Historic Landscape. There are no listed
buildings within or adjacent to the study site which does not lie within a Conservation
Area.
4.1.3
It is the aim of this assessment to review the available data and to construct a
predictive model of the archaeological potential of the study site. It will also seek to
identify whether any part of the study site merits further investigation.

GP/HH/11081
4.2
Previous Archaeological Work
4.2.1
No previous archaeological work has been carried out within the study site. Within the
surrounding area investigations have been limited to a desk-based assessment of the
area to the immediate northeast of the study site (CGMS 2004), and archaeological
fieldwork undertaken in Aberdare (OAU 1993, OAU 1994).
4.3
Aerial Photographs
4.3.1
Aerial photographs of the study site held by the Central Register of Aerial Photographs
for Wales and RCAHMW were viewed at the National Monuments Record of Wales. A
range of vertical photographs were available for the study site ranging in dates from
1945 to 2006 (a list of the aerial photographs viewed are recorded at the back of the
report). The vertical photographs showed the study site and its environs under a wide
variety of environmental and lighting conditions. Four oblique photographs cover the
study site, however these were not suitable for examining potential archaeological
features across the area.
The historic land use of the study site is agricultural and
from the construction of Abernant House, parkland and garden. From the 1940s
onwards the majority of the Abernant House grounds was laid to grass, with a number
of mature trees present throughout the grounds. The northern section of the site is
subject to agricultural activity and is seen variably under crop in 1947-8, 1955 and
1985. The 1984 vertical photograph shows plough marks, of probably Post-Medieval
date across the northern and western extent of the study site. The 1971, 1975 and
1988 photographs clearly show the expansion of Aberdare Hospital. Grass is generally
considered to be a slower indicator of soil moisture deficit, and therefore of buried
archaeological features, than cereals (Wilson 2000). It generally only shows marks in
conditions of extreme drought.
4.3.2
No crop-marks of possible archaeological origin can be clearly identified within the
study site. Former plough marks can be seen across the northern and western extent
of the study site.
4.4
Prehistoric - Palaeolithic-Iron Age
4.4.1
The GGAT HER and RCAHMW contain no records relating to any known activity dating
to this period within the study site. The archaeological investigations undertaken to
the south and southeast of the site revealed no evidence of Prehistoric activity. While
it is acknowledged that there has been only limited archaeological investigation in the
© CgMs Limited
10
GP/HH/11081
area and that areas of ‘permanent’ pasture, such as present within the west of the
study site, precludes systematic archaeological prospecting by aerial survey and
fieldwalking, the south Welsh valleys area generally sparsely distributed with finds and
features from this period. On this basis a low potential is identified.
4.5
Roman
4.5.1
As with the Prehistoric period, the HER and RCAHMW database contain no records
relating to Roman activity dating within the study site or the surrounding 1km radius.
The presence of Roman activity in southern Wales is well documented. The
archaeological investigations that have been undertaken around Aberdare have
provided no evidence of Roman occupation, suggesting the site formed part of a
marginal or woodland landscape.
4.5.2
It is therefore unlikely that archaeological remains from the Roman period are present
within the study site and a low potential is identified.
4.6
Post Roman and Early Medieval
4.6.1
The period between the departure of the Romans and the Norman invasion is one of
the least well documented and understood parts of the history of Wales. The area of
Aberdare is no different, with the GGAT HER and RCAHMW database containing no
records for this period either within or immediately surrounding the study site.
4.6.2
While this absence may in part reflect the lack of archaeological work, there have been
no stray finds or evidence of Post-Roman activity recorded during the development of
the Hospital site and Abernant House. No such evidence was recorded during the
archaeological work undertaken to the south of the study site.
4.6.3
It is therefore probable that the study site was either woodland or used for pasture
and it in light of this a low potential is identified.
4.7
Medieval
4.7.1
Neither the GGAT HER nor the RCAHMW NMR contain any records of this date on the
study site. It is likely that the area changed little over this period remaining wooded
or part of a sparse agricultural community focused on homesteads. There is no
evidence of settlement at Aberdare during this period. A low potential is therefore
identified for the study site.

GP/HH/11081
4.8
Post Medieval and Modern
4.8.1
Cartographic evidence combined with archaeological records held by GGAT and the
RCAHMW suggest that the study site continued to be used for agricultural purposes
until the arrival of the Abanant Iron Works (HER34069 and HER40441) in 1801. Yate's
1799 Map of Glamorgan (Figure 2) shows the area on the north bank of the River
Cynon opposite Aberdare as pasture with two buildings, probably farm houses.
Previous reports have suggested (CGMS 2004) that one of these buildings is Abernant
House (HER265636) but the date of the map and location do not seem to match. What
is clear is that the habitation of Aberdare was an established road side settlement,
though it has been stated that prior to 1799 there were no workers houses in
Aberdare (Llewellyn 1853).
4.8.2
Greenwood's Map of Glamorgan, while not showing the study site in detail does show
the extent of the Abernant works and the area of the study site is shaded with some
potential buildings in the southeast corner (Figure 3). Unfortunately the site falls
within the fold of the map so it is not possible to identify Abernant House with any
certainty.
4.8.3
Abernant House was built by James Birch when the iron works was founded at the turn
of the century. Birch was co-founder of the Iron Works with Jeremiah Homfray,
formerly owner of the Ebbw Vale iron-works and later high sheriff of Glamorgan
(1809-10). The house and the iron works were sold to Mesers. Tappenden in 1807 and
then to Rowland Fothergill in 1819. Rowlands nephew Richard Fothergill who extended
and transformed Abernant House into a mansion with formal grounds, which are still
known today as 'Fothergill Park' (Price 2007).
4.8.4
The house is clearly visible on the Ordnance Survey of 1833 (Figure 4) and shown in
greater detail on the Aberdare tithe map of 1847 (Figure 5). The road leading to the
house follows roughly the same line as the extant road and passes through an small
patch of woodland. There are two fields to the west and a smaller field in the
northwest corner. A row of workers house lies to the immediate north of this
(HER286057). Other open fields are depicted to the north and east of Abernant House.
4.8.5
The plan of the Parish of Aberdare of 1853 (Figure 6) identifies Abernant House for
the first time and indicates that the structure has been extended since shown on the
Tithe award of 1847. The 1853 map also shows different field boundaries to those
shown on the earlier map. However, as the 1885 Ordnance Survey (Figure 7) shows a
© CgMs Limited
12
GP/HH/11081
similar layout as to that shown on the tithe map and as both of these maps are more
detailed than the 1853 map, the 1853 map is not considered reliable.
4.8.6
The 1885 and 1901 Ordnance Surveys (Figures 7 and 8) show Abernant House,
associated outbuildings to the northeast and extensive grounds. The area immediately
around the house (the eastern half of the study site) is wooded, with the west side
mostly open fields. A track is shown curving around to the north from the house. What
appears to be stables are shown in the northern part of the study site. The tramway is
located just to the north of the stables. Beyond the site, to the west is an airshaft. The
iron works lies to the north and west. The Aberdare and Hirwaun Tramway (SAM
GM527) is shown to the west of the study site.
4.8.7
The house was occupied by St Michael's Theological College from 1st march 1892 until
1907, when the college moved to Llandaff. From 1917 the house was used as
Aberdare General Hospital. The Rhondda Cynon Taf Libraries Heritage Trail Website
records:
'The movement for a hospital began in 1907 and the initial site chosen was
at Godreaman, but following delays an offer from the Marquis of Bute to
lease Abernant House was taken up. Public donations raised £14,428
towards the cost of the hospital and the local coalowners contributed
£10,000. The work of converting Abernant House was carried out by
Horace J Davies of Bargoed at a cost of £10,300. On July 17th 1917
Aberdare General Hospital was opened.'
4.8.8
The main part of Abernant House was destroyed by fire in 1929, leaving no trace of
the former splendour of the interior. The hospital was reopened in 1933.
4.8.9
The expansion of the hospital is visible on the Ordnance Survey maps of 1921, 1951,
1964 and 1969 (Figures 9-12). These maps also illustrate the shift from industrial to
residential land uses in the area surrounding the study site.
4.8.10
Looking at these plans in more detail, shows two features within the western half of
the study site. The first is a square structure located
between the house and the
stables, the second is a small oval mound towards the southwest corner. The structure
is visible on the 1901 Ordnance Survey, but the mound is not. The tram way has
fallen out of use and many of the earlier industrial features are now described as 'old'.
© CgMs Limited
13
GP/HH/11081
4.8.11
The 1951 edition of the Ordnance Survey shows the stables to the north have gone, as
has the rectangular feature. The oval mound is still present. The new main building of
the hospital can be seen clearly.
4.8.12
By 1982 (Figure 13) the oval mound is no longer visible and no further hospital
expansion has taken place since before 1969. Additional new buildings constructed in
the 1990s are shown on the 1999 Ordnance Survey (Figure 14).
4.9
Summary
4.9.1
There are no Scheduled Ancient Monuments or other sites with cultural heritage
statutory designations located within or in the immediate environs of the study site.
The study site does not lie within a Registered Historic Landscape or within a
Conservation Area. The Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM GM527) lies over 300m to
the west of the study site and Aberdare a Cadw Registered Park lies 800m to the west.
Neither Abernant House nor any of the buildings associate with the hospital are listed
buildings.
4.9.2
This assessment has established that the study site has low potential for all periods
until the 19th century, when the study site included Abernant House and garden. The
very north of the site contained stable buildings relating to the Abernant Iron Works.

SITE CONDITIONS AND THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
5.1
Site Conditions
5.1.1
A site visit was made on 28th August 2009.
The study site comprises two distinct
areas. The western part comprises two open fields with pasture (Plates 1-3), a small
copse (Plate 4). The west and southern parts of the study site are bounded by a stone
wall which is nearly 3m high in some areas and has totally collapsed in others (Plates
5-7). The wall is likely to represent the estate wall for Abernant House. Whether it was
built as part of the original house in 1801 or was part of Richard Fothergill's extensive
renovations and building programme is unclear.
5.1.2
The east part of the site comprises the buildings, grounds and car parking areas of
Aberdare Hospital (Plates 8-13). The hospital buildings comprise the rebuilt main
building previously known as Abernant House (Plates 14 and 15) and subsequent new
buildings built throughout the 20th century. In particular a wall forming the northern
boundary of a car park for the Child and Family Clinic may be the remains of a wall
from one of the late 19th century outbuildings (Plates 16 and 17).
5.2
Proposed Development and Potential Impact
5.2.1
The study site is currently be considered for redevelopment. Precise details are not
currently available but it is clear that earthmoving and excavation for foundations,
services and associated infrastructure required for such a development would remove
or damage any archaeological deposits within the west part of the study site.
5.2.2
The area occupied by the hospital has been subject to significant landscaping and
terracing as well as earthmoving for the construction of the buildings. Any
archaeological deposits predating the construction of Abernant House and the
Aberdare Hospital are likely to have been heavily truncated or totally removed. The
fire at Abernant House in 1929 caused significant damage and the site visit did not
reveal any features of significance relating to the 19th century house.
5.2.3
However, this assessment has established that there is, overall, a low potential for
significant archaeological deposits within the study site other than those associated
with Abernant House and garden. On this basis, it is concluded that the west side
study site is unlikely to impact on archaeological deposits. The removal of the hospital
buildings could be mitigated, if necessary, through a rapid photographic recording of
the older elements.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
6.1
This assessment has established that there are no Scheduled Ancient Monuments on
or immediately adjacent to the study site and that it has a low potential for
archaeological deposits predating 1800. Remains associated with Abernant House may
still survive but most of these are likely to have been lost or severely compromised by
the fire in 1929 and the expansion of the hospital during the 20th century.
6.2
The study concludes that, based on current evidence, the archaeological potential of
the study site is not of sufficient importance to constrain development and that no
areas of archaeological significance or ancient monuments, as referred to by Policy
CON7 of the Rhondda Cynon
Taf
(Cynon Valley) Local Plan will be destroyed or
adversely affected. In the absence of any archaeological deposits, remains or features
it is concluded that the archaeological potential for the site is low and that no further
archaeological work is necessary on the west side of the site. The loss of the remains
associated with Abernant House could be mitigated, if appropriate, through a
photographic record of specific features.

Glamorgan Record Office, RCHAMW
Summary of value of consulted record
The consulted record data for the Proposed Development Site was limited for archaeological
and historic activity predating the Abernant Iron Works and the construction of Abernant
House.
No previous archaeological works have been carried out within the study side nor
within its immediate surrounding area. In the later Post Medieval and Modern period a more
comprehensive record of the Proposed Development Sites history and land use exists in the
form of Cartographic evidence and historic documents.
