Description

Cadw have granted conditional Scheduled Monument Consent for external signage works at Cardiff Castle, Cardiff. One of the conditions stated that an archaeologist will pre-excavate the required area for the base plates of ten lectern panels. A watching brief was also conducted during construction works associated with the viewing platform, and the construction of a ramp and retaining wall. The results of the archaeological works further demonstrate the presence of Roman and medieval activity within the confines of Cardiff Castle. The changes in some of the construction techniques ensured that the archaeologically significant structures were preserved in situ and were not damaged during the course of the signage and viewing platform projects.
