Welsh archaeological trusts

The four Welsh archaeological trusts, which were established in the mid-1970s, are independent limited companies with charitable status providing a uniform local archaeological service across the whole of Wales.

Their work includes the maintenance of regional Sites and Monuments Records (SMRs), the provision of archaeological advice, particularly to local planning authorities, and the implementation of schemes, such as watching briefs and excavations, to mitigate the adverse impact of development on archaeological remains.

Contact your regional trust for advice before undertaking any work, such as drainage improvements, they may disturb archaeological deposits.
