Marian-glas Hut Group is an unenclosed hut circle (53.3379°N 4.2516°W / 53.3379; -4.2516 (Marian-glas Hut Group), SH501846). This Scheduled Ancient Monument (Cadw SAM No. AN093) is a roundhouse settlement dating at least back to Roman times. It is also called Cae Marh Hut Group. There are several huts with thick walls, some standing up to 1.4m high.[2][3] Some of the huts' walls are now obscured by a thicket, while others are visible as wall lines in the lawns of Marianglas caravan park. The location is indicated on the ground through a signboard by the Ministry of Public Building and Works (which dates the sign to 1962–70).[4]
