Monument 280 submitted by AngieLake on 10th Oct 2005. View of Monument 280 with Druids Circle in the background. The closeness of the kerb-like stones left of centre gave it the appearance of a ruined cairn.

Llanbadarn Fawr Celtic Crosses
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: Wales (Ceredigion)
Visited: Yes on 9th Nov 2008
Llanbadarn Fawr Celtic Crosses submitted by AngieLake on 9th Nov 2008. The shorter cross, left and the lower section of the tallest cross, showing the figure carved on this face.
Both were thought to be pre-Christian standing stones. The large cross is made from granite, possibly from the Llyn Peninsula.
Llanbadarn Fawr church was once the mother church of what was then the largest parish in Wales.

Penrhos-Feilw
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 25th Sep 2004
Penrhos-Feilw submitted by AngieLake on 25th Sep 2004. The two tall stones and their shadows viewed from another angle, showing the proximity of the farm house beside the lane, close to which I'd parked in a small layby. This was taken one gloriously sunny evening in May 2002. The views over Trearddur Bay are stunning, and I would guess that the distant hills must be on the Lleyn Peninsula, on the south side of Caernarfon Bay. This site is actually on Holy Island, but joined to Anglesey (Ynys Mon) by several roads.
(The horses were both there on ...

Bodowyr
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 5th Dec 2004
Bodowyr submitted by AngieLake on 5th Dec 2004. This is the gorgeous (and possibly important) view from the 'front' of Bodowyr burial chamber, down the sloping field, and across the Menai Straits towards the noticeable dip in the mountains of North Wales mainland. I would imagine the dip would be the gap between Snowdon (on the right) and Glyder Fawr (left), where the Llanberis Pass runs. Maybe the sun rose in that dip at Midwinter Solstice, as it would seem to be in a southeasterly direction? Its rays would then have illuminated the tomb ...

Trearddur Dolmen
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 30th Oct 2009
Trearddur Dolmen submitted by AngieLake on 30th Oct 2009. The Trearddur standing stone looked very dominant from this angle, while walking back down the lane from Trefignath. Maybe it was meant to be viewed like this, on some kind of processional route from Trefignath, going south?
[It's interesting what you notice when not at the wheel of a car!]

Ty Mawr (Nr Holyhead) submitted by AngieLake on 30th Oct 2009. This shot was taken near Trefignath, while walking back down the lane. In the distance I spied Ty Mawr, and zoomed in to try to capture the poor isolated menhir, surrounded by its 'triffid-like' lamp-posts.
[See centre of photo, above new tree planting.]
