The 12th century saw the cessation of Viking raids on Anglesey and, as a result, increasing prosperity and stability. At this time many of the old Celtic churches, originally built with timber, were replaced by stone buildings. Hen Capel Lligwy (Old Lligwy Chapel) is one of these.
The Din Lligwy Hut Circle is an excellent example of a fortified hut group, dating from the latter days of the Roman occupation. Coins and pottery found here have been dated from the 4th century AD, although excavations and finds of earlier structures suggest that it was in use long before that. It is thought that the wall was built around the village at this time; the decline in the might of the Romans towards the end of their occupation meant that raids against villages became more commonplace.
