	Kenfig
		For two hundred years between the middle of the twelfth century and the middle of the fourteenth century the town of Kenfig was a thriving community.
		The castle and town of Kenfig were therefore founded in order to establish greater control over the local people and in particular to secure the crossing of the River Kenfig.
		Kenfig was a borough as well as a town.

	Kenfig Origins
		The earliest forms of the name of Kenfig town also tend to show the connection with John and his ancestors as it appears as ‘Chenefeg’, ‘Kenefeg’, and ‘Kenefec’ in documents belonging to the period 1147-1169.
		Kenfig seems to have been a particular target during the period from 1147-1321, and we have found firm evidence of at least nine attacks upon it with circumstantial evidence for another two.
		It is rather surprising that amidst all this unrest the town of Kenfig somehow survived.

		Kenfig dunes and NNR (Figure 1), with an areal extent of about 650 hectares, contains 575 species of flora of which 550 are native to the UK.
		At Kenfig, Liparis loeselii occurs in wet dune slacks which are under invasion by Phragmites australis (reed) and Hippophae rhamnoides (sea buckthorn) (Jones 1992, Hurford 1994).
