Access: Along A5025 from Cemaes towards Amlwch, turn right, and the stone is in a field on the right, opposite some large white buildings.
Sunny100 adds: It stands on private land belonging to Werthyr Farm [permission should be sought]
The massive menhir stands on a flat topped hill. There was, apparently, once another stone here and together they may have formed what was part of a chambered tomb. But any trace of this has long since gone - the other stones having been robbed away.
