Archaeologist’s concerns over impact of potential new wind farm

An archaeologist has raised concerns over the impact of a potential new wind farm in Caerphilly County Borough – with fears that important historical features could be affected.

The Twyn Hywel Energy Park could see 14 turbines built on land between Senghenydd, Nelson and Cilfynydd.

However, Professor George Nash, a specialist in rock art from the University of Liverpool, said the archaeological assessment carried out by Bute Energy failed “to fully uncover and understand the historical potential of this common land”.
