In the early 1990s the Merthyr Tydfil Borough Council commissioned three sets of dry stone walls to mark the entrances to new parkland created on former industrial land. They link the cultural landscape of the post-industrial present with that of the pre-industrial past. There are others in the area. The coping stones have subsequently, sensibly, been mortared, but they are of genuine dry stone construction and look convincing.
