This prehistoric type walled settlement is recorded as Coflein NPRN 95541, which tells us it is set on the summit of a limestone plateau, close to its precipitous northern edge. "The enclosure describes an irregular pentagon about 52m east-west by 46m. The drystone wall is about 1.0m wide and stands up to 2.0m high, including many large orthostatic stone slabs".
The Journal of Antiquities also includes an entry for the Din Lligwy Ancient Settlement, Near Moelfre, Anglesey, Wales, which includes a photograph, a plan of the settlement, directions for finding this site, a description and a list of reference sources for more information.
