Site 1 - Access: Having turned left off the A5025, south west from Cemaes, the stone is on the left, behind a hedge, visible from the lane. To access, just go over a gate, and it is very nearby.

Pen Yr Orsedd 2 submitted by TimPrevett on 2nd Jul 2002. Turn right just down the lane from site 1, and before long you should see this other stone to the right, just after a farm track.

Country: Wales (Anglesey)

Hendrefor submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Jul 2002. Ucheldref Burial Chamber SH551773
Visited Thursday 28th September 2000
SE Pentraeth, off B5109 Pentraeth to Beaumaris road. Two huge piles of stones in a field, basically! Another example of the decay of ancient monuments sad, but one supposes inevitable in many cases. The waves and contours in the rocks on these two are quite interesting to look at.

Visited: Yes on 7th Apr 2004
Bodowyr submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Apr 2004. Scorching under the capstone of the lovely Bodowyr Dolmen. Another prime example of how *not* to treat an ancient monument.

Maen Addwyn
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 9th Apr 2004
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.

Holyhead Mountain
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 14th Apr 2004
Holyhead Mountain submitted by TimPrevett on 14th Apr 2004. At the base of Holyhead Mountain, is this impressive, substantial group of hut circles. In the 1860s in excess of 50 buildings were recorded, but now numbers around 20.
Active settlement was on this location for sometime, and not all the remains seen are contemporary with each other.
Finds at this location, and very nearby, date occupation from mesolithic to Romano British times.
The hut circles seen are obvious, but there are a number of square features. The guidebook likens them to s...

Caer Leb
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 14th Apr 2004
Caer Leb submitted by TimPrevett on 14th Apr 2004. Caer Leb is a rectilinear settlement enclosure, with double ditches and banks defining an area 200 feet by 160 feet. Some have interpreted it as a mediaeval homestead with moat (indeed, some of the ditches get very water logged). However, finds of a 3rd Century AD brooch, a 4th Century denarius of Postumus, and Roman pottery and quernstones date the site much earlier than mediaeval. Like the Din Lligwy Settlement, the CADW guidebook says it possibly has its origins earlier than the 3rd Century, ...

Penrhos-Feilw
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 14th Apr 2004
Penrhos-Feilw submitted by TimPrevett on 14th Apr 2004. We were not alone when visiting these prehistoric goalposts; we were soon joined by two of three horses in the field.
They were very curious, and thankfully added a pleasant dynamic to the visit; the seasoned megarak, I am sure, can recount less pleasant close encounters with livestock in fields.

Perthiduon
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 14th Apr 2004
Perthiduon submitted by TimPrevett on 14th Apr 2004. Investigating the multitudinous varieties of lichens on the collapsed Perthiduon Dolmen.
If ever there was an adeqaute crossover for hobbies or interests, lichens and stones must be a contender!
Rob F, Baz, Elaine, Eileen and Stevie are the first in there.

Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Aug 2006
Trefignath submitted by TimPrevett on 2nd Aug 2006. Interference at Trefignath; I visited here with a client in mid June, and the stones had been interfered with - these had been stacked up; others had been too, but nothing on the capstone. Will get on to CADW this afternoon.

Country: Wales (Anglesey)

Tre-Gwehelydd submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Feb 2007. The most unusual spectacle I think I have ever seen - a standing stone held together with huge metal braces.

Bedd Branwen
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 15th Feb 2007
Bedd Branwen submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Feb 2007. A pile of clearance material just south of Bedd Branwen, next to the river. In cases like this you can't help but wonder if this was *something* (well of course it was *something*, but perhaps related to the nearby ring cairn).

Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 15th Feb 2007
Llech Golman submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Feb 2007. While a black and white photo may not capture the ruddy hues of this stone, I was still very pleased with this choice of 'colour' and angle.

Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 15th Feb 2007
Pant-Y-Saer submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Feb 2007. Pant y Saer in advanced twilight; not as dark as picture suggests due to juxtaposition of flash off the stone.

Bryn yr Hen Bobl submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Apr 2007. The view of the cairn covering the neolithic chambered tomb, having approached through the estate.
To visit, "Hen Bobl is on land still owned by Lord Anglesey. You would need to make a formal written request to Jones Peckover (129 High Street, Bangor, Gwynedd LL57 1NT) who act as agents for Lord Anglesey's estate."
