Archaeology Data Service — Forensic Institutional Review
Chronology and catalogue links — assessed 10-10-2026: See the Institutional Involvement Roadmap (1877–2026) for the date-ordered institution, people and evidence sequence. The reported 1988 Cadw-to-Minister spot-listing letter has its own placeholder at GHF-E152; the original has not been attached to that page as at 10-10-2026. A placeholder records an evidence gap, not the letter’s contents.
Forensic Institutional Review — Archaeology Data Service
Scope: ADS is assessed only as an archival/data-access actor.
Role
ADS may provide discoverability and access to archaeological reports or datasets relating to Great House Farm / Llandough. It is not a title adjudicator, planning authority or heritage decision-maker.
Forensic control test
Determine which Great House Farm datasets/reports are deposited, their depositor, deposit date, metadata, accession identifiers, file versions and stated provenance. The key question is whether ADS preserves an independent trail showing what archaeological work was commissioned, reported and deposited.
Current finding
As at 10-10-2026, the material reviewed does not establish wrongdoing by the Archaeology Data Service. Repository results are limited to the date, scope and holdings searched. Any absence from ADS is only a finding about that repository’s present searchable holdings unless the deposit/retention trail proves more.
Human action
Request a targeted search for Great House Farm, Tŷ Mawr, Llandough and relevant project identifiers, asking for deposit metadata and file lineage rather than a general historical narrative.
Acceptance: a documented ADS search result with accession/deposit metadata and copies/links for every relevant item.
Institutional appearance timeline — linked source index
Coverage rule: this is a chronological navigation map of published Wiki source pages found by searching the current site index for “Archaeology Data Service”. Every event label links directly to the page containing the source. It avoids duplicating source narratives. It records mention/appearance, not culpability. Dates are transcribed from page titles where available; “Date not explicit in title” means the linked source must be consulted. Search indexing is a discovery aid, not proof of exhaustive external coverage. 🕒

Cross-reference — Cedwyn / Cydfin place-name evidence: References on this page to variants such as Cedwyn, Cydfin, Cedfin, Cydwin or Tŷ Mawr should be read alongside the GHF-E173 complete reference index and, where relevant, the Llandough (Penarth) pre-1877 manorial evidence page. Name similarity is a research lead, not proof of identical location, boundaries, ownership or title.
