Gwynedd Archaeological Trust have been excavating Test Pits at an undisclosed site on Anglesey where earlier geophysical survey has shown up what could be Iron Age roundhouses in two possible groups. Each Test Pit was placed over an area of possible archaeology or activity show up by the geophys survey.
Several pieces of black-burnished ware were found in one Test Pit which confirms that our site is now very likely to date to the Roman period. Manufactured in Dor-set, the pieces of black-burnished ware show that the Anglesey communities were connected to a wider trading network almost 2000 years ago.
