Marian-glas or Marianglas is a small village and post town in Anglesey, in north-west Wales.^[1] It is situated between the larger villages of Moelfre and Benllech and just off the A5025. There is a large caravan park on the edge of the village and several camp sites. However there is no church, pub or shop. It has a memorial to those killed in the two world wars, including a list of 17 seamen from the Merchant Navy.^[2]

Marian-glas Hut Group is an unenclosed hut circle (53°20′16″N 4°15′06″W / 53.3379°N 4.2516°W / 53.3379; -4.2516 (Marian-glas Hut Group), SH501846). This Scheduled Ancient Monument (Cadw SAM No. AN093) is a roundhouse settlement dating at least back to Roman times. It is also called Cae Marh Hut Group. There are several huts with thick walls, some standing up to 1.4m high.^[3]^[4] Some of the huts walls are now obscured by a thicket, while others are visible as wall lines in the lawns of Marianglas caravan park. The location is indicated on the ground through a signboard by the Ministry of Public Building and Works (which dates the sign to 1962-70).^[5]

Academy Award-winning actor Hugh Griffith was born in Marian-glas in 1912.^[6]
