Roman Fort
Approximately one kilometre beyond Pont Cyfyng, towards the south east end of Capel Curig, on the farm of Bryn Gefeiliau there are the remains of a Roman fort (c90-100AD) and named Caer Llugwy by its excavators . In 1920 excavations undertaken by J.P. Hall and Captain G.H. Hodgson revealed a roughly square Roman fort of approximately 4 acres (16,000 m2). Some stone buildings were uncovered and traced.
