We hit this situation in Surrey some years ago, and conducted a
literature review, and had a lot of discussion in which we concluded
that "above-ground burial" was preferable to "below-ground burial".
With "above ground burial", the archives are placed in a storage
building, without access of any kind unless funded by the researcher.
I'm happy to pass all this on to colleagues in Wales or elsewhere.
Best wishes,
Pat
