Standing Stone in Anglesey

Access: Parked considerately at the end of a lane leading to a farm, not far off the B5111 Llanerchymedd to Amlwch road. Down lane, and short way down on the right hand side there is a gate; there were sheep there when I visited, so I climbed over gate instead of opening it.

The stone is in the middle of the field, just to the right. The stone: I estimated about 5'5" tall, very square; almost reminds me of a trig point stone. Covered in various lichens.

Bryn Dyfrydog submitted by guile : The stone at Bryn Dyfrydog or perhaps Llys Einion is a very unusual shape for an Anglesey standing stone but typically quartz rich. I was told to come back when there was a full moon as the stone really sparkles! (Vote or comment on this photo)

On the north face of this stone there is a shallow groove running down it, similar tracking can be seen on two other stones located on the Llyn peninsula, these marks are considered to be the result of lightning striking the stones.
