Site Name: Llanmaes, Llantwit Major
Notes: This assemblage derives from the second full season of excavation at this site during 2005 (4weeks). The material derives from Trench B contaiing further midden and yard surfaces and three roundhouses. In addition, the assemblage includes material from the remaining halves of the two pits partially excavated in 2004. Material was also recovered from three small exploratory trenches to the North, East and South of the Excavation focus. The Northern trench yielded a well preserved and complex sequence of Romano-British deposits and features overlying a prehistoric floor surface. Significant quantities of Romano-British material were retrieved from this trench.
