Natural Stone / Glacial Erratic in Anglesey (Sir Ynys Mon)

Possibly natural stone on top of a rocky outcrop, also giving the name to the Parish. The COFLEIN entry (Welsh Monuments Record) sites it at the boundary of 3 fields in front of a farm. The location on a boundary seems significant as a 'hoarstone' - ie possible boundary marker.
