Barclodiad y Gawres - "The Giantess's Apronful". Legend has it that two giants were travelling across the Anglesey carrying stones to set up a new home near Holyhead, the wife became weary and dropped her load of stones here.
Or more positively, the Cailleach as benevolent earth mother and the guardian of the sacred wells. Like the land itself, the Cailleach changes shape, sometimes appearing as a beautiful young maiden, sometimes as an old woman (crone) and sometimes as a legendary giantess.
A pile of stones with more than first meets the eye. Excavated in 1952 by Thomas Powell and Glyn 'Antiquity' Daniel. Multiple chambers and cremated remains - a Cruciform Passage Grave. And inside the most beautiful rock art on six stones, one only discovered in 2001.
Its Anglesey location is highly unusual as this and the style of tomb are Irish, with other influences. Inside the chamber was evidence of long term burning, but mixed in were unburnt bones from fish (wrasse), eel, frog, toad, snakes, mice and hares, a witches brew if ever I heard. The whole thing preserved by a covering of limpet shells.
