Archaeological excavations at Ysgol yr Hendre, Llanbeblig, Caernarfon, revealed a remarkable sequence of activity ranging from the Roman to the post-medieval period. The most significant discovery was an early medieval cemetery with mortuary enclosures and numerous graves, providing rare insight into burial practices in northwest Wales. Nearby, Roman ovens—likely linked to the construction of Segontium fort—were uncovered, alongside a prehistoric pit, medieval features, and later remains of a 19th-century farmstead and glasshouses. Together, the results highlight the long and complex history of this landscape
