Overview

History & significance

Ynys Leurad Hut Circles is a Roman domestic settlement located on Anglesey, Wales, consisting of the remains of circular stone-built dwellings typical of Romano-British rural occupation. The site dates to the Roman period and represents evidence of indigenous settlement patterns that persisted during Roman rule in Wales. The hut circles, identifiable as circular or roughly circular stone foundations, reflect the continuation of pre-Roman building traditions amongst the local population under Roman administration. The settlement demonstrates the everyday domestic arrangements of Romano-British communities in north Wales and contributes to understanding of rural Roman settlement in the province beyond the major military and urban centres.
