Hello Dave, our web site has a filter for Access which should give a good
indication of sites which are accessible. Please follow this link to see
them.
I don't personally know Anglesey that well but hopefully our erstwhile forum contributors will be able to help...

hi, a few sites are very close or next to the side of the road, Maenadwyn,Bodfeddan, Porthdafarch Hut Circles and Soar also Carmel disputed standing stone for example.
Some are in the field next to the road with access over a small stile or thru a kissing gate, Presaddfed, Lligwyand Trefignath burial chambers.
Trefignath also has the Ty Mawr standing stone and the Trearddur Bay Dolmen
The Trearddur Bay Stanley Mill Standing Stone isn't too far away and has excellent access.
Penrhosfeilw is also accessed thru a kissing gate as is Bodowyr.
Llyn Cerrig Bach is right by the road.
Most sites require climbing over a stile or squeezing thru a kissing gate I'm afraid, and the ground is rather wet and muddy at the moment.
Llynon Mill and Iron Age settlement[if open] is worth a visit and I must commend Oriel Mon in Llangefni, has full disabled access with a cafe well worth a visit especially as they have an exhibition celebrating the antiquarians of Anglesey at the moment. I LOVE the Hendy head which can be admired there.
Hope these are of some help to you Dave.

I have visited Bryn Celli Ddu and Bodowyr. The footpath from the carpark to Bryn Celli Ddu is relatively long (there was a small bridge on the way I think), but Bodowyr burial chamber is very close to the road.
