In 2006 to 2008 and 2009 to 2010 Gwynedd Archaeological Trust carried out archaeological excavations in advance of a major Welsh Government development site, called Parc Cybi, at Holyhead.

Over 20 hectares were investigated to reveal an archaeological landscape. The highlights were the remains of a 6000 year old Neolithic timber hall and an Iron Age village, but there were many other fascinating features.

The Welsh Government has funded the full analysis of the data and final publication of this important site is on-going. These webpages provide your portal to information on the site and to related events.

This project has since concluded, but its original website has been archived to support ongoing interest and research. You can view the archived page here.
