Roman Britain in 1961
Destruction by gravel-working of the successive fort and fortlet at Llystyn, Caernarvonshire (JRS xlviii, 130; L, 210–1) is nearly complete.

The NW and NE gates had double carriageways between flanking towers, like the SE gate, and there were internal angle- and interval-turrets of timber, (b) The fortlet (fig. 10), whose gate lay on the SW, was asymmetrically planned, with a quadrangle SE of the unmetalled axial street and parallel blocks to NW of it.
