The Meillionydd Project

was initiated by Bangor University and aims to investigate the chronology, form, character and occupation of the hilltop enclosure of Meillionydd, near Rhiw, on the Llŷn peninsula in northwest Wales.

Our excavation seasons, carried out in July in 2010 - 2013 as well as in June and July in 2014 - 2017, have demonstrated that Meillionydd was occupied for a relatively long period of time and that we have evidence for early wooden roundhouses and a ditched enclosure, and later stone roundhouses and concentric enclosure banks.

This collection is dedicated to give the public the chance to view and investigate our excavation results and our finds.
