Little Orme

The Little Orme was inhabited during the Mesolithic and Neolithic eras, notably the Pant y Wennol cave.

[1] A small hoard of Iron Age Celtic metalwork was found in a cave on the Little Orme.

The Royal Artillery coastal gunnery school, 198 battery, was posted to Little Orme during the Second World War.

Target practice was undertaken from the headland to anchored boats, and unspent ammunition and unexploded shells may still be encountered offshore.

Parts of the Little Orme (notably the NWWT's Rhiwledyn Nature Reserve) are a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
