"Castell Henllys is a small inland Iron Age (600-100 BC) promontory fort and adjacent native farmstead occupied in the late Iron Age and throughout the Roman period (100 BC - AD 400). It has been under excavation since 1981, and almost all of the interior and the entrance of the fort has been examined, together with a significant section of the farmstead. The fort is one of the most extensively excavated ever in Britain. The on-site building reconstructions are unique in Britain and include the longest-standing reconstructed roundhouse and granary. The excavations are run so as to provide practical training, and Castell Henllys is now the longest-running and largest such excavation in Britain."
