- Description: Certain debris accumulations in Bottelnek are ascribed a rock glacier origin on the basis of morphological and sedimentological evidence. Radiocarbon dating indicates that rock glaciers were active at or subsequent to 21 000 BP and that cold, stadial conditions, existed on the region after 27 000 BP and before 13 000 BP, during the Bottelnek Stadial. At least sporadic permafrost existed in Bottelnek when the rock glaciers were active.

- Description: Eight climatic events during the Holocene are evidenced in the East Cape Drakensberg by fluvial, archaeological and palynological deposits. Flood plain deposition under relatively moist conditions occurred in the Early Holocene, before ca. 7000 BP. Semi-arid conditions with limited fluvial activity dominated the Mid Holocene until ca. 3200 BP. Alternating flood plain erosion and deposition occurred in the Late Holocene. Four climatic events, for which there is palynological and limited archaeological evidence, have been identified in the Late Glacial.

- Description: [From the introduction]: Horses played a major role in the transport system in Britain until, in the years following the conclusion of the First World War, they were gradually ousted by motor vehicles. In 1917, when the first reasonably complete equine census of Britain was undertaken, there were 2,650,773 horses in the country, 1,115,920 of which were used for agricultural purposes (Chivers, 1976). Horse breeding was therefore of great importance and a variety of attempts was made to improve the quality of horses by subsidising stallions that travelled the countryside during the breeding season, and that were available, at a fee, for the service of mares. This paper describes some of the routes followed by stallions that formerly travelled in Brycheiniog and adjacent counties.

- Description: This paper discusses the development of change ringing in eastern Breconshire before the start of the First World War in 19 14, with special reference to peal ringing at Glasbury. Since the men who rang peals there, prior to that war, came from other towers as well as from Glasbury, brief mention is made of ringing at those towers and of members of those towers who rang peals at Glasbury. The towers discussed include Talgarth, Bronllys, Brecon, Llanelli (named Llanelly on Ordnance Survey maps) and Builth Wells, which were in the Diocese of St David's at that time, and centres in Herefordshire which were in the Diocese of Hereford. Attention is also paid to the role of the Hereford Diocesan Guild of Bellringers and of the peripatetic instructors employed by that Guild. An excellent introduction toringing is provided by R. J. Johnston's Bell-Ringing; the English Art of Change-Ringing (Viking, 1986), while the web-site of the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers (www.cccbr.org.uk) is also informative. , Colin Lewis was Professor of Geography at Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa from 1989 until his retirement at the end of 2007. In 1990, with the strong support of the incumbent Vice-Chancellor, Dr Derek Henderson, he instigated the Certificate in Change Ringing (Church Bell Ringing) in the Rhodes University Department of Music and Musicology - the first such course to be offered in Africa. Since that date he has lectured in the basic theory, and taught the practice of change ringing. He was the Ringing Master of the Cathedral of St Michael and St George, Grahamstown, South Africa for 20 years.

The rampart is believed to have formed in the Bottelnek Stadial, after 27 000 BP and before 13 000 BP, and provides evidence of perennial snowbeds and at least discontinuous permafrost in the East Cape Drakensberg during that Stadial.

- Description: [From Introduction] There must have been great excitement in Clyro in 1708. The existing four bells in St Michael's Church were recast by Henry Williams, the bell founder from Glasbury, into a ring of five bells. The work was apparently paid for by the owners of two of the great houses in the parish: Cabalva and Lloyney. Little is known of the four bells that existed in Clyro before Williams began his work, although they appear to have been larger than the five bells cast from their metal. The four bells swung side by side in a wooden frame in the tower of the church. This frame was altered in 1708 to accommodate bells of smaller dimensions and a fifth bell pit was added at right angles to the others. , Colin Lewis was Professor of Geography at Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa from 1989 until his retirement at the end of 2007.
