River Adda (Wales) - Wikipedia
River Adda (Afon Adda in Welsh) is a small watercourse which flows through the city of Bangor in North Wales before discharging into the Menai Strait at Hirael Bay, opposite Porth Penrhyn. The name is said to be of 19th-century origin, deriving from a field Cae Mab Adda ("the field of the son of Adam") close to its source.
Gwynedd Archaeological Trust have been asked by the Environment Agency to examine the route of the existing River Adda culvert through the city of Bangor, and to record and assess any archaeology associated with the route. This assessment is to be undertaken in advance of refurbishment of the culvert and associated limited new works.
