Register Update — 30 September 2026

page · Updated 2026-10-20T14:29:12 · Original source

This page updates the Master Scrutiny Issue Register. Under the register’s permanent audit rule, the original questions stay as written there. This table records what has since been answered, narrowed or corrected. “Narrowed” means the question is still open but now smaller.

New issues, 6 October 2026: fourteen further issues (A-074 to A-087) are recorded on Register Additions — 6 October 2026, arising from the Legal Review — Fraud, Land and Human Rights.

ID	What is now known	Source	Status
A-035	RCAHMW holds no registered-file correspondence on the site; only the archive items on Coflein. The Johns–Buckler letters are not held. ^🕒	RCAHMW, RC26-0375, 29 Sep 2026	Open — copies may exist elsewhere
A-036	RCAHMW’s 1988 text: ground floor surveyed 1974 “in unusual circumstances”; first floor and roof not examined “because of problems of access created by an ownership dispute”. Richard Suggett visited after demolition; the reason for the visit is not recorded.	RC26-0375; NMR 6048945	Narrowed
A-042	Reframed as a structural question: how GGAT’s advisory and contracting roles were separated in 1989–90. No collusion is suggested.	GGAT 1989; GGAT 1990	Open — with Heneb complaint
A-043 / A-044	The dual role was disclosed in writing in 1990. Developer-funded work was recognised practice at the time. The open question is what safeguard existed beyond disclosure.	GGAT 1990 §1	Narrowed
A-045 / PL-009	GGAT’s 1990 report says the eastern area could not be investigated, then zones it low potential. HER event GGATE003875 records the 1994 excavation expanding into that zone. GGAT also recommended protection or excavation east of the churchyard wall.	GGAT 1990; GGATE003872; GGATE003875	Narrowed — methodology review requested
A-046	The 1978–79 excavation was of the Llandough Roman Villa site (PRN 00768s), south of the church — not Great House Farm. It gave GGAT nearby knowledge, not knowledge of the same ground.	HER; Owen-John 1988	Narrowed
A-047	The 1981 Act applies only to land meeting its statutory definition, with a saving for consecrated land (s.5). Human bone alone does not make land a disused burial ground.	Disused Burial Grounds (Amendment) Act 1981	Narrowed
A-050	Corrected: the HER identifiers are different record types (site, event, cemetery), not contradictions. GGAT02038s is the site record; GGAT02272s is the cemetery. The remaining question is whether they are cross-referenced clearly.	Archwilio, checked 30 Sep 2026	Narrowed
A-051	The 1990 report was received by the Council on 10 Sep 1990 and made available to the 1994 contractor, so it was not unavailable before 2019. The question is where the site archive was held and why formal deposit came in 2019.	Council date stamp; CAT 1994; RCAHMW	Narrowed
A-052	Contemporary press reports place the March 1983 fire at GGAT’s warehouse in Swansea, not Neath, and report Llandough finds and photographs among the losses. No link to any Great House Farm record is shown.	Press reports; Heneb request, 24 Sep 2026	Open — possible lead only
A-053	Amgueddfa Cymru holds 82.44H (1979 villa excavation), 95.56H (1994 cemetery) and 63.24 (Church Farm, 1858). No accession matches the c.1880 “armour” story, which traces to a local tradition (Daily Telegraph, 16 Apr 1974). Update 5 Oct 2026: the 63.24 records are now published — the 1931 provenance letter (GHF-E106-R33-A1), the rowel spur (A2) and the spearhead (A3).	FOI 2026-024, 2026-032, 2026-036 (GHF-E106-R33); NMR 6048942, 6048944	Largely answered
A-067	858 (1994 preliminary) and 1,026 (2005 published) are the same excavation counted at two dates. Both are correct.	CAT 1994 §4.2; Medieval Archaeology 49	Answered
PL-008	GGAT’s warning of 27 Jul 1992 was followed 38 days later by approval with no new condition, then 466 days with no recorded GGAT act before development began.	Planning file 92/00671/RES	Open — with Heneb complaint
PL-010	The 1983 date appears at §3 of the 1990 report; §1 gives December 1988 correctly. Source and correction history not yet known.	GGAT 1990	Open — with Heneb complaint

Added 5 October 2026 — same-name records in the Museum’s searches

Point	What is now known	Source	Status
Museum MS 3360/3 (1924 “Llandough Estate” sale particulars, page headed Great House Farm)	Supplied with FOI 2026-032 on 22 September; the Wiki has not yet examined the page. The title (“Nine Well-Known Farms … forming part of the Llandough Estate”) points to the Llandough Castle estate at Llandough-juxta-Cowbridge, which has its own Great House Farm. In 1924 the Penarth farm was split between Thomas (Parcel A) and Bute (Parcel B), neither a “Llandough Estate”. Not the 1877 split in Mary (Nancy) Williams’s statement, and not the 15 May 1924 agreement on WA231076.	R33 location check · The Two Parcels	Location unconfirmed; not cited as Great House Farm evidence
Museum Ref 13.2 (waterwheel “from Llandough Farm”, 1979)	Names Llandough Farm, a separate farmstead; donated by Wales and West Housing Association in connection with development of the site in 1979, when Great House Farm was still occupied by Mary (Nancy) Williams.	R33 location check	Probably Llandough Farm; location unconfirmed
Museum search terms	The Museum’s FOI 2026-032 and 2026-036 searches treated “Great House Farm / Ty Mawr / Llandough Farm” as one subject, so results for two farmsteads (and possibly a third in another parish) were reported together.	R33	Open: ask the Museum to state, for each item, the parish and site it is recorded against
