Standing Stone in Anglesey

All I can say is do not attempt a visit here without a 1:25000 map! On a previous holiday to Anglesey I spent over an hour looking for this critter! I ended up hot & bothered, with scratched legs and an irate wife! As can be seen from the photos, the undergrowth here is considerable! Probably the most I have actually had to READ the map, ever, to locate a stone! Thankfully the stone was still upright, which makes the visit all the more satisfying.

Hi , has anybody else noticed that this stone is aligned with the north and south cremlyn stones , if you draw a line from the llandonna stone threw the two cremlyn stones it takes you to Bangor cathedral . Also draw a line from the llanddyfnan stone threw the llanddona stone it takes you to penmon priory , if you follow this alignment between llanddona and penmon at grid ref 617,804 , on google maps it looks like there could have been a stone circle in a hexagonal enclosure and there's more , there's two other stones the one at ty gwyn and the other is the one at llandegfan that are aligned west to east , take a line from the llanddona stone to the menia stone circle and it cuts threw the middle of the two stones on the west to east alignment at the start of the afon cadant and if you keep going from the menia circle you end up at a burnt mound on garret lefain , has anybody else seen this or have any info about these alignments.
