In 2012 a dig conducted by the Monmouth Archaeological Society found remains described as the foundations of a massive long house. More recently, it was announced that this was evidence of Bronze Age boatbuilding, associated with what would have been a large prehistoric lake.
Meter wide trenches or channels were found over a mound of burned earth which has been carbon dated to the Bronze Age. Other finds around the area date back to the Stone Age and through to Roman times.
The site has been discovered in association with the development of the Parc Glyndwr housing estate, located on the old Croft-Y-Bwla country house and farm. The location given is approximate for the site.
Note: Bronze Age 'boat building' discovery in Monmouth.
