The parish is along the Menai Strait , about 4 miles north-east of Caernarfon (across the strait). The parish church of St Nidan is near the A4080 road ,
46-466: A central road flanked by plots containing rectangular buildings, is similar to Roman villages and small towns such as Sedgefield . This arrangement has no defences and is otherwise unlike the military Roman sites in Wales, nor does it resemble the native defended settlements with their roundhouses and irregular outlines, nor the occasional villas; it suggests a previously unknown level of civilian Romanization in
69-668: A little to the east of Brynsiencyn. The ruins of an earlier parish church survive. On the basis of field names it has been suggested that the Roman army under Suetonius Paulinus landed here in 60, and again in 78 under Agricola , overcoming the Ordovices of north-west Wales and Anglesey, at a spot known as Bryn Beddau, (Hill of Graves in Welsh ). In 1867 it was suggested that the local field names "Maes Hir Gad" (Area of long battle) and "Cae Oer Waedd" (Field of cold or bitter lamentation) may indicate
92-472: Is Hywel Eifion Jones, who has held the post since May 1999. Amenities include a post office, a primary school (Ysgol Parc y Bont), and a 12-hole golf course. Probably the village's most famous son is Tecwyn Roberts (1925–1988), who became NASA ’s first Flight Dynamics Officer with Project Mercury that put the first American into space. Roberts was born at Trefnant Bach cottage in Llanddaniel Fab and
115-594: Is a division of land in Wales that forms the lowest tier of local government in Wales . Welsh communities are analogous to civil parishes in England but, unlike English parishes, communities cover the whole of Wales. There are 878 communities in Wales. Until 1974 Wales was divided into civil parishes . These were abolished by section 20 (6) of the Local Government Act 1972 , and replaced by communities by section 27 of
138-647: Is a small village, housing a few hundred people. It has a post office, shop, kebab house and pub. There is also a primary school, a church, and a large chapel.

161-461: Is sub-circular with dimensions of 130m x 100m and is defended by a double bank and ditches. A series of circular anomalies in the interior could indicate several phases of round houses. The probable course of the Roman road runs immediately to the south of the defensive ditches and the entrance appears to open onto the road. The Romans probably improved a pre-existing Iron Age trackway and may have abandoned

Llanddaniel Fab 53°12′36″N 4°15′11″W / 53.210°N 4.253°W / 53.210; -4.253 Llanddaniel Fab (or Llanddaniel-fab ; formerly Llanddeiniol-fab) is a village and community in the south of Anglesey , Wales . At the 2001 census it had a population of 699, increasing to 776 at
207-504: The 14th century. The house has been owned by the National Trust since 1976. In the 16th century the poet Catrin ferch Gruffudd ap Hywel lived here. Her Welsh poems are preserved and they include an awdl with a religious theme written in 1555. During the 2001 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth crisis , many sheep and cattle were slaughtered in the area. The village has its own community council and its county council representative
230-475: The 2011 census. The village is at the highest point of a low ridge running SW/NE: this is one of a series of Precambrian rock units oriented in that direction. It is near the prehistoric monument of Bryn Celli Ddu which was constructed in the late Neolithic period. In the east of the community, by the Menai Strait , stands the country seat of the Marquess of Anglesey , Plas Newydd , parts of which date from
253-475: The Crown . In Wales, all town councils are community councils. There are now three communities with city status: Bangor , St Asaph and St Davids . The chair of a town council or city council will usually have the title mayor (Welsh: maer ). However, not every community has a council. In communities with populations too small to sustain a full community council, community meetings may be established. The communities in

A Llanidan electoral ward existed, which also included the community of Llanddaniel Fab to the north. The population of the ward at the 2011 census was 1,851. Since the 2013 county elections Llanidan has been part of a new ward, Bro Rhosyr , which includes three neighbouring communities and elects two county councillors. Amongst

322-745: The community boundaries within their area every fifteen years. The councils propose changes to the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales , which prepares a report and makes recommendations to the Welsh Government . If the Welsh Government accepts the recommendations, then it implements them using a statutory instrument . For example, in 2016 four new communities were created in the City and County of Cardiff . The legislation surrounding community councils in Wales has been amended significantly in
345-545: The notable people associated with the parish are: There is a horse stud : Llanidan Stud, which breeds Welsh ponies of cob type (section C) and Welsh cobs (section D). Near Brynsiencyn is the Anglesey Sea Zoo . Llanidan Hall is a Grade II* listed building and its garden and park is listed, also at Grade II*, on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales . Brynsiencyn
368-565: The remote west of the province. Two other similar layouts in Wales are suggested by aerial photography; on the opposite side of the Menai Strait, adjacent to Foryd Bay , there is a small linear settlement of rectangular buildings, but no others are known from North Wales. The western and southern parts of the settlement were fairly regular with one building in each plot. The northern and eastern parts were less regular and more difficult to interpret. Two hundred and seven pottery shards were found on
391-487: The same Act. The principal areas of Wales are divided entirely into communities. Unlike in England, where unparished areas exist, no part of Wales is outside a community, even in urban areas . Most, but not all, communities are administered by community councils , which are equivalent to English parish councils in terms of their powers and the way they operate. Welsh community councils may call themselves town councils unilaterally and may have city status granted by
414-482: The shore of the Menai Strait. The roads were flanked by a series of small enclosures, with typical dimensions of about 20m x 40m. Many of the enclosures contained fairly clear, rectangular anomalies interpreted as buildings, with typical dimensions of around 16m x 8m. About 25 possible buildings were detected by the survey. Most appeared to be rectangular, possibly with internal subdivisions. A few seemed to be more complex with extensions or additional rooms. The layout, with
437-527: The site of these battles Near Tai Cochion house, excavation and geophysical survey has revealed part of a Roman settlement of unusual layout, and on the opposite side of the Menai Strait to the Roman fort at Segontium . This may mark the main crossing of the Menai Strait. A trading settlement would have been likely at such a point. Geophysical survey indicates a road of typical Roman construction, 600 metres long and 8 metres wide, with several side branches, running slightly north of east from Tai Cochion house to
460-450: The surface of the field to the south of Tai Cochion. These dated from c. 100 to c. 300, including a high proportion of high-status 2nd century material. In the burned level of one building, many shattered Lezoux colour-coated beakers may be the stock of a shop. Several coins were found, the latest was of Constantius II (337-347). Geophysical survey at the western end of the site shows a large prehistoric defended settlement. The settlement
483-551: The urban areas of the cities of Cardiff , Swansea and Newport do not have community councils. As of the 2001 United Kingdom census , there were 869 communities in Wales. 84 percent, or more than 730, have a council. They vary in size from Rhayader with an area of 13,945 hectares (34,460 acres) to Cefn Fforest with an area of 64 hectares (160 acres). They ranged in population from Barry with 45,053 recorded inhabitants to Baglan Bay with no permanent residents. The twenty-two principal area councils are required to review

After serving as a member of the Avro Arrow project team and the Space Task Group , Roberts transferred to NASA where he eventually became chief of the Manned Flight Support Division, chief of the Network Engineering Division during the Apollo Program and later Director of Networks at Goddard Space Flight Center . The village is on National Cycle Route 8 (Lôn Las Cymru). The village

The first church in this location is said to have been established by St Deiniol Fab (to whom the church is dedicated) in 616. The current building incorporates some material and fittings from its predecessor, which probably dated from about
