Marian-glas or Marianglas (Audio file "Marianglas-2.ogg" not found) is a small village in Anglesey, north-west Wales. It lies between the larger villages of Moelfre and Benllech and just off the A5025. There is a large caravan park on the edge of the village and several camp sites. There is a church and pub but no shop. It has a memorial to those killed in the two world wars, including a list of 17 seamen from the Merchant Navy.[1] Marian-glas Hut Group is an unenclosed hut circle (53°20′16″N 4°15′06″W / 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]
