Abandoned mountain village found (UK)
The ruins of an extensive mountain village have been found on the slopes of the Sugar Loaf, near Abergavenny.
Scouts working with the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers have spent a week hacking back brambles to reveal the 25-house village.
It is thought the Y Graig settlement in Glangrwyne, Powys, was abandoned in the 19th Century after its landlord increased villagers' rent.
Conservationists believe there may be more buildings to be uncovered.
