Castell Henllys, situated near Nevern in north Pembrokeshire, Wales, is an Iron Age archaeological site. The 21st-century excavation focused on recreating the original roundhouses and a granary, both established 2,000 years ago on their foundations. This makes Castell Henllys the sole reconstruction of its kind in Britain. The hillfort boasts impressive earthworks and fortifications, offering a fascinating peek into the past. During summer, the site trains young archaeologists and sees a large influx of visitors. Castell Henllys is under the ownership of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
