**Rhoscryman cairn** submitted by pab : Rhoscryman cairn, On Anglesey Coastal Path. The Skerries Lighthouse is just visible between the cairn and headland - it is about 3 miles away. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Cairn in Anglesey (Sir Ynys Mon)

Identified on 25K OS Maps, but not 50K, this cairn is located on a headland on the western coast of Anglesey - Dublin being just over 60 miles due west.

The cairn has a fair covering of lichen etc, with only a few stones having the appearance of recent deposit by walkers etc, but I have not been able to find any robust confirmation of antiquity. As with so many of these sites of course, it is important to remember that absence of any proof of antiquity is not the same as proof that a site isn't ancient!

No mention on COFLEIN - underlying ground makes it very unlikely that there would have been a cist confirming a burial purpose, but a great marker for anyone looking for the relatively safe landing on beaches nearby.
