St Seiriol's Well submitted by pab on 9th May 2007. Site in Anglesey (Sir Ynys Mon)

This was the nearest I was able to get to this stone in an otherwise wonderful weekend - across a significant stream and several fields away! Firmly in private land, and insufficient time to locate the owner to ask permission ... something for another visit perhaps.

As with several local sites, no-one was available to ask permission to get much closer, but worth a brief halt to look!

Din Sylwy submitted by pab on 13th May 2007. The North face... The Hillfort is on a limestone hill surrounded by a wall of limestone blocks, and it was very difficult at times to work out which 'Master Craftsman' had constructed which!
This stretch of wall (SH5868181666) faces out to sea above Tan Dinas farm.
