Llys Rhosyr, Medieval royal court ruins in Newborough, Wales.
The stone foundations of Llys Rhosyr reveal a large rectangular complex with halls, kitchens, and accommodation areas spread across 137 meters by 91 meters.
The court served as an administrative center for Welsh princes until 1282, when Edward I conquered north Wales and transferred ownership to Eleanor of Castile.
Archaeological excavations from 1992 to 1996 uncovered silver items, pottery, and lead fishing weights that indicate the social status of its medieval inhabitants.
The Pritchard-Jones Institute near the site houses an exhibition of archaeological findings and historical information about the medieval Welsh court system.
A severe sandstorm in winter 1332 buried substantial portions of the site, preserving the medieval remains until modern archaeological investigations began.
