A battlefield where Welsh rebel Owain Glyndwr's army and English soldiers clashed more than 600 years ago is to be sold at auction.
The 30-acre hillside pasture is part of the Pilleth estate near Knighton, Powys, which is valued at £1.4m.
Auctioneers said the battlefield was part of a 168-acre lot worth £445,000. Ten lots in total will be sold in June.
Welsh historical groups meet on Thursday to discuss whether they are able to make a bid for the land.
The Battle of Pilleth was a landmark victory in Glyndwr's fight for Welsh independence from England.
In June 1402, he defeated an English force led by Edmund Mortimer, one of king Henry IV's Marcher barons.

So do I , I hate it when they foul up historic sites. Maybe the dwarves can re-enact the battle
