Castell Henllys Iron Age Forthttp://castellhenllys.pembrokeshirecoast.org.uk
Castell Henllys is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and one of many prehistoric promontory forts in the National Park dating to around 600BC. What makes this site particularly important is that archaeologists have been excavating here for nearly twenty years and thatched Iron Age buildings have been reconstructed on their original foundations. As a resource for understanding the Iron Age, Castell Henllys is second to none, providing a unique combination of Scheduled Ancient Monument, archaeological excavation and experimental archaeology.CATEGORIES: Archaeology , Heritage Centres , Historical Sites

Hendre Waelodhttp://www.walesdirectory.co.uk/his/bury/waelod.htm
Hendre Waelod is the only one of the Conwy valley portal dolmens with the traditional high portal stones-in this case, originally 3m high and probably covered by a separate lintel, now lost. The chamber behind is large but rather low, covered by an enormous capstone which has slipped to the north. Access from the portal is blocked but it is possible to squeeze inside from the other elevation.CATEGORIES: Historical Sites

Dyffryn Ardudwyhttp://www.walesdirectory.co.uk/his/bury/dyffryn.htm
This site excavated in 1960 was one of the first sites where multi period building was recognised, and has become central to the understanding of the portal dolmen group in this country and in Ireland. Portal dolmens form the most common type of tomb in this region. They stood at the centre of the farmed land,a focus for the community like a parish church, and many of them are striking and daring examples of architecture and engineering.CATEGORIES: Historical Sites
