Having been there on holiday last year I thought the subject referred to the current dwellings...

Newborough was very near where we were.  Was not aware of the dig.

Isn't this relatively close to the recent Roman site?

I think so Duncan looking at the map. Both appear to be close to the Menai Straits. Would be great if they found some roman stuff 'underneath' this latest find for continuity of occupation
