Din Lligwy, Archaeological site in Moelfre, Wales
Din Lligwy contains limestone foundations of circular and rectangular buildings enclosed by substantial walls on a hilltop location near the Anglesey coast.
The settlement flourished between the 3rd and 4th centuries CE as a Romano-British community that manufactured iron tools and weapons for the Roman army.
Archaeological excavations from 1905 to 1907 uncovered pottery fragments, animal bones transformed into tools, and evidence of musical instruments crafted by inhabitants.
The site remains accessible throughout the year, with the nearest facilities located at the main car park in Moelfre, one mile east of the settlement.
The settlement features two intact circular huts and four rectangular structures, including a gatehouse near the northeast entrance and a chieftain's residence.
