Caer Lêb is a pentagonal fortified enclosure located near Brynsiencyn on Anglesey. The site features two successive defensive banks separated by ditches that protected the area within.
The site dates to ancient times and was occupied or influenced by Roman activity. Excavations in the 1800s uncovered Roman objects that showed how this location mattered during that period.
The name comes from Welsh and refers to a fortified settlement from ancient times. It represents an important part of how people on this island built and defended their homes long ago.
The site can be reached by car with parking available near the roadside close by. Walking from the parking area to the enclosed area takes just a few minutes on foot.
The inner defensive bank still stands noticeably tall in places, rising to roughly 2 meters above ground. This height lets visitors today see how strongly the ancient fortification was originally built.
