Din Llugwy is a prehistoric enclosed settlement located on Anglesey, Wales, comprising a series of hut circles and associated structures within a defensive enclosure. The site dates to the Iron Age and represents a significant example of domestic settlement patterns in pre-Roman Wales, with evidence of occupation extending into the Romano-British period. The settlement is characterised by the remains of circular or sub-circular stone-built houses arranged within an irregular stone-built enclosure wall, typical of the defensive settlements found across the Welsh uplands. The site has been subject to archaeological investigation and remains an important monument for understanding the continuity of settlement and social organisation in Iron Age and Romano-British Anglesey.
