The Castell Henllys site was acquired by the National Park Authority in
1991 and has and is continually being developed as a historical and
rural interpretation facility.
Castell Henllys
shows us what it was like to live in iron age society and defended
settlements such as this replica on an original site show us how the
Celtic inhabitants lived and worked. The Welsh and Gaelic language is
based on Celtic and the site allows us to build up a picture of life in
those early settlements which date back to circa 1000 BC.
Castell Henllys was
a defended settlement and some areas are still under excavation. The
level of detail and authenticity of the site with its smouldering fires
and items of every day life make this a wonderful 'step back in time'
adventure. An ideal location for family trips and surrounded by
beautiful Welsh countryside, this is most definately worth a visit.
What makes this
site particularly important is that archaeologists have been excavating
here for over twenty years and thatched Iron Age buildings have been
reconstructed on their original foundations.
