Ancient Village or Settlement in Conwy (Bwrdeistref Sirol)

Tucked away in the mountains is this Bronze Age settlement. Beside the Afon Dulyn and not far from The twin lakes Mellynllyn and Dulyn reservoirs. Several still recognisable hut circles and some enclosure walls can be traced. The mountains loom large and brooding over this place, not a place for those of a nervous disposition.
