I'd love one of these for Castell Nos in Maerdy.
An interesting way to help people visualize what a ruin used to be.

Great to join @christianowen.bsky.social @caryslromney.bsky.social and David Hernon (Uni of Gloucester) for Maerdy Monster (Turdulisoma cf helenreadae) #millipede surveys at Maerdy Colliery yesterday. The surveys are being undertaken as part of Buglife's Coal Spoil Connections project.

Just waiting for confirmation but I think and hope this millipede is the Maerdy monster, Turdulisoma cf Helenreadae, probably endemic to one area in South Wales.

📺🌿 Yesterday, Liam met Stacey Dooley in Maerdy during filming for the new BBC series 'Stacey Dooley Cleans Up'.
With the former Maerdy Colliery nearby, it was a great opportunity to discuss the wildlife value of South Wales' coal legacy landscapes.
Looking forward to seeing it on TV in 2027! 💚

Evidence of an earlier prehistoric landscape perhaps. Almost 2 metres down in the eroded bank of a culverted watercourse near Maerdy in the Severn-Vyrnwy confluence. I often see peat layers, but rarely in-situ wood.
