This dataset was derived from two electronic datasets held originally by Countryside Council for Wales (CCW), Bat Roosts Database - Caernarvonshire and Anglesey, and Bat Roosts Database - North East Wales. To compile this dataset, bat records from paper files, held in CCW regional offices were compared with those held electronically within the two datasets. In addition to this Bat Roost Database - Merionethshire was used, however it was discovered that this dataset was a duplicate of the original Bat Roosts Database - Caernarvonshire and Anglesey. Not all electronic records were checked but any which were found during a systematic sift through the regional files. Existing electronic records were improved by adding missing data which was present in their original paper source and by adding a reference to the file. For all records which were located in the regional files, their geographic location was checked on Ordnance Survey maps using GIS and, where necessary, moved to its correct or more accurate position. Further improvements were made to the dataset by comparison with an earlier version of the Bat Roosts Database - Caernarvonshire and Anglesey (GWYBATS) during early 2013.

This dataset is sensitive and restricted. Sensitive data must be kept confidential; general release is not permitted due to risk of harm to the environment or third parties. Sensitive data may only be released under an appropriate NRW Licence or equivalent (an online enquiry submitted to Cofnod from their website, guidance on which will be supplied by Cofnod following a Gateway request for enhanced access). Data may be released freely if the sensitive records are removed in advance, or shown only at a coarser scale.

© CNC/NRW Recipients may only re-use sensitive data in strict confidence under the terms of an appropriate NRW Licence or equivalent. No publication or dissemination is permitted, except if sensitive records are removed in advance, or shown only at a coarser scale. At a spatial scale at which the records are considered non-sensitive then there are no use restrictions on this data, including for commercial and research purposes. Recipients may re-use, reproduce, disseminate this data free of charge in any format or medium, provided they do so accurately, acknowledging both the source and NRW's copyright, and do not use it in a misleading context. It is the recipient's responsibility to ensure the data is fit for the intended purpose, that dissemination or publishing does not result in duplication, and that it is fairly interpreted. Advice on interpretation should be sought where required. To avoid re-using old data, users should periodically obtain the latest version from the original source.
