The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales

The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW) is a government-backed organization dedicated to documenting, researching, and preserving Wales' rich archaeological and historical sites. They systematically survey and record monuments, buildings, and landscapes, creating detailed archives accessible to the public and scholars. Their work helps understand Wales' cultural heritage, supports planning and conservation efforts, and ensures that historic sites are protected for future generations. Essentially, RCAHMW acts as Wales' official record-keeper for its significant historical and archaeological assets.
