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.

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.

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?
