Cae Metta (SH 536650), 1.5 km south-west of Llandeiniolen: preliminary examination of the polygonal enclosed hut-group suggested occupation from the mid third into the fourth century.
Caernarvon fort (Segontium, SH 485624) :3 excavation outside the north-east gate (porta decumana) showed that the original Flavian causeway and inner ditch remained in use unaltered until shortly after 330. The causeway was then dug through and the ditch re-cut from a W-profile to the normal V-section, while a new outer ditch was constructed some 10 m out from the gate. Access to the gate was now over wooden bridges, for which structural evidence was found at the inner ditch. Fresh details were also obtained of the Flavian timber gate.
