Rhosyr is a community in the far southern corner of Anglesey, Wales. It includes the villages of Dwyran and Newborough, Llangeinwen and Llangaffo.
The community population taken at the 2011 census was 2,226.[1] and includes Llanddwyn Island and Newborough Forest.
Rhosyr was the site of one of the courts of the 13th-century Welsh prince Llywelyn ab Iorwerth (Llywelyn the Great). Llys Rhosyr ('Rhosyr Court') is now an important archaeological site, located close to Newborough. It was rediscovered and partially excavated in 1992, with local activists currently (2017) seeking funding to uncover the remaining two thirds.[2]
