Volunteers dig up relics from medieval past


Medieval items were discovered as history enthusiasts held a Time Team-style dig during the Bank Holiday weekend.

Inspired by the Tony Robinson-fronted television programme, volunteers from the Llynfi Valley Historical Society teamed up with Celtic Wireless and Time Trackers films to take part in an archaeological survey on a site that had not been disturbed for 90 years.

The dig took place in Maes Cadlawr, Llangynwyd, between Friday and Monday.
