Trwyn Du
Date Added: 15th Jun 2012
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Would like to visit
Trwyn Du submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Apr 2007. The visible remains of the Bronze Age cairn, on top of a Mesolithic camp and flint scatter site. The only excavated mesolithic site in Gwynedd now looks out on the Estuary in front of the Aberffraw Sands. In 7000 BC, this would have been looking out onto a river valler, with sea levels considerably lower. This is a top spot - the elements and nature up here were great. Even on a very windy, dull day, as the SE of the country baked in sweltering heat!

Lligwy Burial Chamber
Date Added: 21st May 2016
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Would like to visit
Lligwy Burial Chamber submitted by Jimwithnoname on 8th Sep 2011. Amazing dolmen and very unnerving sat underneath the 25 ton capstone. It's perched on very little it seems on the one side. The warden approached us as we sat eating at the site. He asked if we were thinking of stopping the night, which we were, but as he said. that's a no no. We respected him and moved on after our picnic. He was quite pleasant and only doing his job. Many people wild camp as he said, and set fire to crops or drive through hedges!

Plas Newydd Burial Chamber submitted by angela on 10th Jun 2002. Plas Newydd
If you are visiting Bryn Celli Ddu on Anglesey it is worth looking at this Burial Chamber site as it is nearby at SH 520 697. Coming from the bridge on the A4080 after about 2 miles take the left turn a few metres before the left turn to the National Trust car park for Plas Newydd. This lane has a blue private sign but this is for the centre down there. After a short distance you will see the tomb on the right in a field. This photo was from a winter visit and it was a quiet frosty ...

Maen Addwyn
Date Added: 23rd Oct 2016
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Would like to visit
Maen Addwyn submitted by TimPrevett on 9th Apr 2004. This impressive sized menhir sits in the field boundary adjacent a road, opposite a school, which out of school hours makes handy parking for viewing the stone.
Mynydd Bodafon is visible to the north west, otherwise flat fields are visible in all directions.
The stone is being encroached upon by the spread of ivy. My last visit (actually 15th June 1999) showed relatively little ivy on the stone; by April 2004 the growth was much more significant.

Bryn Gwyn Stones submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Apr 2004. A recent tree-fall, and considerable hedgerow clearance has opened up a previously impossible shot of these two stones. They are among the largest, if not *the* largest standing stones in Wales.
