Great to hear Andy Seaman's paper on Breiddin Hill at the 'Mapping the March' seminar on Monday. Andy revealed a fascinating find from the site - an early medieval ornament made of copper alloy, in the shape of a small hippo. Evidence of an early interest in African culture?

This week Rachael (@latemedievalist) has been examining accounts from Bromfield and Yale, plotting the locations within the lordship that men and women were active in. Our database is growing quickly…plus it is satisfying to unroll these accounts! #medievalmapping

Valle Crucis Abbey (Abaty Glyn y Groes) was one of the foremost Cistercian abbeys in the March of Wales. It was an important centre for producing vernacular manuscripts, including the Black Book of Basingwerk (NLW 7006D) one of the manuscripts in our Mapping the March database.
