Bit of an exercise in travelling from link to link but worth it, as it's absolutely full of stuff, you can use to point out to our Welsh Assembly, it's Ministers, Department & Section Heads plus of course your Assembly Member. Not least draw to attention of Cadw, RCAHMW, National Trust and Civic Trust all of whom seem to be overtly concerned with ''The Built Heritage of Wales'' and of course any history as long has it does not get too Medieval, unless it's anything but about Native Welsh Resistance to Anglo - Norman Conquest and Colonisation of Cymru. Of course if they were a bit more concerned about this history, then it might mean that they would get off their backsides and did a lot more to Preserve, Protect & Promote Welsh Medieval Battlefields. That includes you too VISIT WALES who for one moment might pay good attention to a FT report on how useful English Battlefield History would be for English Tourism, see below:

Meanwhile where are we at with Cadw & Co, last I heard or rather read was this pretty pasty piece ''Sound Bite'' in the Western Mail dated 8 August 2007, and since?

OK good start, but not to impressed, I can think of a few other Battlefields that should have been included, that I am sure would meet your criteria for inclusion on this list, for starters what about Battle of Bryn Derwin 1255 ? Anyway this RCAHMW list, is at least a start but what has Cadw been doing about it since, as compared to English Heritage and Historic Scotland. Then what about WAG compared to the Scottish Parliament, indeed what? To kind of prove a point, go enter a search for English Battlefield Register, then Scottish Battlefield Register and then try Welsh Battlefield Register and note what comes up > Heritage protection welsh seminar 2 - 9:34am The Welsh perspective. Cadw. Legislative context and background to the review ...... It was recognised that there was no battlefields register in Wales but ...www.cadw.wales.gov.uk/upload/resourcepool/Heitage%20Protection%20Welsh%20Seminar%202-e8756.htm - 115k - Cached - Similar pages - Note this . Despite the RCAHMW having delivered a little list, still better than nothing, it seems that Cadw is still thinking about what to do next?
