Tŷ Mawr Ancient Hut Circles

Tŷ Mawr in Holyhead,Wales. Is the site of around 50 stone hut ruins dating to around 500 BC. No one knows for sure who built the huts.

Many historians say they were the site of a big community that also farmed animals and traded.

The site was fully inspected in 1860. A number of items have been found there, such as Roman coins, bones, flint tools, and charcoal.

From my own personal experience, I have visited this place twice, and it was cold and windy both times. The harsh weather got me thinking about how the ancient people could survive here without modern technology.

There is not really much to see at the site as nature has overgrown many of the huts, but it is still worth a visit. Thankfully, there is a small parking lot just across the road, which I have recently added to Google Maps.

This is not the place you would want to be walking to in harsh weather, as it is quite far from the nearest town, so if you do plan to visit, my advice is to pack warm clothes and waterproofs and drive there.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
