Archaeologists have discovered a Roman fortlet on Anglesey - without even putting a spade into the ground.
The team from Bangor used geophysical surveys to outline the site at Cemlyn, which it says is the first early Roman military site to be found on the island.
The Gwynedd Archaeological Trust was first alerted to it by an aerial photographer.
It described the discovery as "exciting".
Mary Aris, an aerial photographer and historian, spotted a circular mark in crops on a low hill overlooking the Anglesey coast.
The trust secured funding from Cadw, the Welsh government's historic environment service, for further inquiry.
