I think Holyhead stack is part of the object on the horizon inclined at by the smallest of the Smithills stone rows (for the southernmost moonset). The row's placed in the most remote windswept location, of the parish, and must have been a pain to stand around at. So I think they thought it was the centre of the world, or somewhere pretty important, then.

If the island was the last stronghold of the druids then you could expect that that was where the stones were 'maintained' last. There are some wonderful standing stones on the island and an old 1" OS map will show a lot of them. There are so many stones that it is fair to describe the place, now, as 'relatively unexplored'. In not too many years it's all going under the sea !
