Din Llugwy

Din Llugwy hut circle is an ancient village site near the west coast of Anglesey, close to the village of Moelfre.

The site is believed to date from the Iron age and was probably developed and occupied over a long period. For a pre-Roman site, a great deal remains including the enclosing wall and the foundations of many buildings, many of them with substantial and well made foundations constructed fron the local limestone. The outer protective wall is almost intact although much reduced in height.

It is a strange and quiet place where it is easy to imagine the people who lived here as having only recently left. There is a real sense of a place where people have lived and worked over a long period.

Din Llugwy is situated on a low hill with good views over Anglesy and a reliable source of fresh water nearby. The hill is no overgrown with Sycamore and Ash but it is probable that when it was occupied, the village would have had uninterrupted views all around.
