Chapel Finian Well submitted by kelpie on 13th Jul 2004. The well is housed in the ruins of what was a small chapel probably erected by pilgrims to the nearby home of St. Ninian.
The well was dry on my visit and there was no sign that it had been any different for some time.

Log Text: Electric fencing surrounds this field in which the circle lays, which has been recently used for cattle. The stones are surrounded by a wooden fence and more electric fencing. Extremely muddy (sunk up to my ankles ) and very boggy so l dodged and went under electric fencing to get to this very overgrown/feels neglected site. Site most definately not easy to get to

Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 0000. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
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!

Din Lligwy submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Jul 2002. Lligwy Ancient Settlement SH497861
This settlement, NW from Moelfre and not far from the Lligwy burial chamber is huge! A short walk from parking space for maybe 3 cars, through woodland, this location can occupy a considerable amount of time exploring the nooks & crannies of this probable 4th century AD settlement.
