Standing Stone in Anglesey

Access: Park off the A5025 Valley to Cemaes road. I had to go through a farm, so I knocked and asked permission, and was granted it very cheerfully. The field was high in thistles in places, and quite spikey. It was also a silage field, so crap was everywhere. The stone: Relatively small - about 5 feet. Couldn't see much detail on it, as it was sprayed with silage, and iced with bird poo.

Note: Permission should be sought from the nearby farm before visiting.
