Excavations at Ty Mawr in Holyhead were carried out between November 2006 and the end of June 2008, in advance of the development of the site for Parc Cybi, a Welsh Assembly Government development. Over 20ha were excavated with the finds including a stone-built Iron Age roundhouse settlement and the remains of a 6000 year old Neolithic timber hall. Bronze Age and medieval cemeteries were also discovered, a stone macehead in a Neolithic pit. Remains from 18th and 19th century farms were also found. In September 2009 to February 2012 a Roman industrial site was also discovered.
