Abstract

The landscape of Man-moel is a remarkable survival from the pre-industrial landscape of Gwent. Research suggests that the history of settlement and land use in the area can be documented for nearly a thousand years, and that several phases of development have contributed to the present landscape. The history of the settlement at Man-moel also contributes to the geography of the cult of St Cadoc.
