Bryn Celli Ddu Standing Stone
Bryn Celli Ddu Standing Stone submitted by guile : Bryn Celli Ddu Standing Stone. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Standing some 150 yards South-West of Bryn Celli Ddu burial chamber, this stone is 4 foot high and about 18'' thick. Roughly circular in shape, it has a hole in it some 2'' deep. Packing stones are clearly visible around this stone. It has been polished smooth by generations of animals.

This stone is in line with and shares the same alignment as the passage of Bryn Celli Ddu, and must surely be an important part of the prehistoric landscape.

This stone stands on private property - a very busy farm, and permission should be sought from the landowner before viewing.
