Mae’rcategorïau o arwyddocâd eto i’w cloriannu yn briodol a’upwyso yn erbyn ei gilydd mewn termau rheoli manwl, ynenwedig o ran strategaeth gadwraeth gyfun ar gyfer yrhenebyn cyfan.16 Mae pwysau cynyddol ar oroesiad y clawdd o ran eiarchaeoleg a’i hunaniaeth unigryw. O ystyried maint achymhlethdod yr henebyn o ran tirwedd, mae’r dirywiad yndebygol o fod yn sylweddol ac yn barhaus oni bai ein bod yngweithredu rhaglen gadwraeth integredig sy’n canolbwyntio ar ymaterion priodol.17 Dylid seilio rheolaeth barhaus Clawdd Offa aregwyddorion cadwraeth clir, ac fe fydd gofyn ymwneudeffeithiol amrywiaeth eang o bartneriaid, asesiad achytundeb clir ar dargedau rheoli a chefnogaeth ariannolarwyddocaol.Conclusions15 Offa’s Dyke is a unique and nationally important ancientmonument with interconnected archaeological, historical,cultural, landscape, ecological, amenity and economicsignificance. Those categories of significance are yet to beproperly evaluated and weighed against one another indetailed management terms, particularly with respect to anintegrated conservation strategy for the whole monument.16 Offa’s Dyke is subject to increasing pressures on thesurvival of its archaeological fabric and distinctive identity,and, given the scale and landscape complexity of themonument, is likely to continue to suffer substantial andongoing degradation unless a well focused, integrated andsustained conservation programme is implemented.17 The ongoing management of Offa’s Dyke should bebased on clear conservation principles and will requireeffective involvement of a wide range of partners, clearassessment and agreement of management targets andsignificant funding support.Y Camau nesaf18 Yn dilyn y Datganiad Cadwraeth yma, mae’r camau nesafyn cynnwys:• ymgynghoriad pellach gyda grwpiau a mudiadauperthnasol• comisiynu Cynllun Cadwraeth manylach ar gyfer ClawddOffa• datblygu mentrau codi arian i gefnogi’r broses reolihirdymor19 Mae dechrau hybu Clawdd Offa fel henebyn â StatwsTreftadaeth y Byd posibl hefyd yn gynnig ychwanegol. Syniadtymor hir yw hwn, ac er ein bod yn ei grybwyll yma, nid yw hynyn golygu bod English Heritage, Cadw na phartneriaid eraill yncefnogi cynnig o’r fath ar hyn o bryd.Next Steps18 Following on from this Conservation Statement,suggested steps forward include:• further consultation with relevant groups andorganisations• commissioning a more detailed Conservation Plan forOffa’s Dyke• developing fund-raising initiatives to support the longtermmanagement process19 An additional suggestion is to begin to promote Offa’sDyke as a monument of potential World Heritage Site status.This is a long term idea, and its mentin here does not indicateEnglish Heritage, Cadw: Welsh Historic Monuments or otherpartner support for such a proposal at this stage.
