Sad news to report. Phil Bennett, who was the archaeologist for the Pembs Coast National Park for many years, and later the manager of Castell Henllys, died on 11th Sept. His funeral was on Wednesday last. Phil and I crossed swords on a number of occasions (as you will see if you do a search on this site) but he was a kind and rather gentle man and at a personal level I always got on with him very well. We worked together on various events organized by the National Park. He was a great enthusiast for the cultural heritage of Pembrokeshire, and did a sterling job of promoting the county further afield. He left the National Park staff about a year ago, and it's sad that he did not live to enjoy a long and mellow retirement. Our condolences to his family at this sad time.

Sad news.
I never knew Phil very well, but had several very friendly meetings with him that discussed all sorts of issues. Condolences to his family.
