The talk will be on the 2021-26 seasons of survey and excavation undertaken as part of the Fonmon Castle Landscape Archaeology Project, focusing on the discovery of the important Llancadle South early medieval cemetery complex. Excavations here have revealed a unique and well-preserved site that is helping to transform our understanding of the 5^th to 7^th centuries AD in southeast Wales.
