Howard M R Williams writes: Despite being uninspiringly referred to as a ‘hut group’, everyone should visit Din Lligwy, Moelfre, Anglesey. It is truly among the most remarkable of archaeological sites to visit.
Excavated 1905-07, this Romano-British site is often considered the home of a ‘native chieftain’ into the 4th century AD, although the site may have actually had a far longer and more complex history since later prehistory. While it is unclear how typical or exceptional it might be for late Romano-British settlements in the ‘highland’ zone, it is a relatively rare example where one can gain a sense of stone-walled dwellings of the early first millennium AD.
The limestone slabs and stones used to construct the lower walls are what makes the site so uniquely comprehensible for visitors today. They stand up to 2m in height. It comprises a strikingly angular, pentagonal, defensive enclosure, 52m across at its greatest extent and up to 1.5m thick. The buildings within area mix of two roundhouses and and up to seven rectangular structures, plus some possible enclosures that may have served as pens for animals. It is important to note that further traces of enclosures and at least one further roundhouse lie outside the defended enclosure, hinting that this might actually be a locus within a larger settlement, rather than a discrete and isolated ‘farm’ in its entirety.
