Merthyr Tydfil Borough Council have had for nearly 20 years an enlightened policy of linking the cultural landscape of the post-industrial present to that of the pre-industrial past by constructing new dry stone walls. The ones at Fochriw are on a big scale, and very successful - they are popular with the inhabitants who think it money well spent.
