The Hedd yr Ynys excavation at Llangefni, Anglesey, revealed a complex site with evidence of activity spanning from the Romano-British through to the medieval and post-medieval periods. Investigations uncovered small ditched enclosures, large pits, ditches, and a rich assemblage of finds including pottery, plant remains, and metal objects. Alongside the archaeology, the project placed strong emphasis on public engagement, with community volunteers, schools, and local groups actively involved. The results provide new insights into Anglesey’s past and highlight the importance of protecting sites at risk from modern land use and development .
