Din Lligwy settlement

Continuing our walk from Moelfre, we headed inland and past the ruined 12th century Lligwy church, to Din Lligwy - a defensive settlement that was buit in the late Roman period. This was quite impressve, with an outer defensive wall, round huts and rectangular huts. The settlement was made of limestone pavement which had just been lifted  from the sites bedrock.  After that we visited Ligwy Cromlech - a neolithic burial chamber with an impressive capstone. When excavated in 1909, it was found to contain two different groups of bones making up the remains of 15 to 30 humans. 








The cromlech.
