Interpretation Panels

The bi-lingual panels were extensively researched with collaboration with the Dyfed Archaeological Trust. All copy was written from this collaborative research, telling the complete story of the Princes of Deheubarth.

Designing and installing the panels.

We used European oak for the frames, and made use of fallen trees around the grounds to use as further frames and seats for visitors...
