- Caer y Tŵr, Iron Age hill fort with late Roman watchtower, on the summit of Holyhead mountain.
- Caer Gybi Roman Fort is small rectangular for overlooking the harbour which formed a defense against raiders from across the Irish Sea. After the departure of the Romans from Britain the site was gifted to Cybi by Maelgwyn, the 6th Century King of Gwynedd, where he founded a monastery of which the present St Cybi church is the successor.
- Bodowyr Burial Chamber is a Neolithic chambered tomb. The chamber has three upright stones about a metre high supporting a robust, wedge-shaped capstone. A large stone lying flat nearby on the western side may have been part of the structure. Access is by walking 100m across a often muddy field.
