    Description
    The prehistoric settlement at Parc Bryn Cegin is manifest as an extensive area of prehistoric settlement features, focussed on a roundhouse settlement (at the grid reference), excavated by the Gywnedd Archaeological Trust during 2005, and documented from the air by RCAHMW. See Kenney, J. 2005. 'Excavation at Parc Bryn Cegin, Llandygai, Near Bangor, Gwynedd', Archaeology in Wales 45, 3-9.

    The roundhouse settlement produced Roman material including a seal box, used to protect wax seals placed on letters and documents. There are records of what appears to be another seal box from a similar settlement at Pont-sarn-las on Anglesey (NPRN 93883).
