Llanfechell 1
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 24th May 2010
Llanfechell 1 submitted by guile on 24th May 2010. I came upon these stones with a start, as they do resemble people talking.
I then spotted an upright stone and pile of rocks to the N.W. of these three. That stone turned out to be a cattle rubbing post and some field clearances in a small enclosure.
i was trapped in this enclosure then chased for my life from the field by by three feisty heifers - genius loci??? ;-)

Foel Fawr (Anglesey)
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 24th May 2010
Foel Fawr (Anglesey) submitted by guile on 24th May 2010. The remains of Foel Fawr tomb. This name is a bit misleading, the farm visible in the picture is Foel Fawr, access to this site is from the farm next door obviously named "Cromlech".
I was chased from this site by a very aggressive black cow - also in shot.

Porth Dafarch ancient huts
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 4th Jun 2010
Porth Dafarch ancient huts submitted by guile on 4th Jun 2010. As a child I loved this site, it seemed the most believable of locations to build your hut, who wouldn't want to live here?
The site has a fresh water stream [formerly populated with sticklebacks and other small fish,] clifftops with birds nesting on the ground, you could find in this field edible mushrooms, blackberries and sloes; the fishing off Porthdafarch rocks is fabulous, there are plenty of shellfish and crab to be found in the rockpools, after a large storm I once found an octopus ...

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 17th Jun 2010
Bryn Dyfrydog submitted by guile on 17th Jun 2010. The stone at Bryn Dyfrydog or perhaps Llys Einion is a very unusual shape for an Anglesey standing stone but typically quartz rich.
I was told to come back when there was a full moon as the stone really sparkles!

Bryn Gwyn Stones
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 13th Jul 2010
Bryn Gwyn Stones submitted by guile on 13th Jul 2010. These two stones are huge. The taller of the two clearly showing the notches for roof timbers when it was used as an 18th. century cottage gable end.
Perhaps it was a ‘Ty Un Nos’ - or house built overnight. According to ancient laws, if you could build a house between sunset and sunrise, with walls, roof and smoking chimney, you could claim the freehold.
As ever, there seems to be a storm brewing in the mountains.

Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 1st Oct 2010
Ty Newydd (Llanfaelog) submitted by guile on 1st Oct 2010. "This Cromlech is in a field on the right-hand side of the road leading to Bodedern from Ty Croes station, at a distance of one mile and three-quarters from the latter place. It was formerly a double cromlech, and it is supposed that the two were the remains of a large chambered mound, with a passage leading into it, similar to that of Bryn-celli-ddu described further on; but alas! one of them was broken up and carted away for walling many years ago.
That which remains is one of the gems o...
