Situation:1 3/4 miles north-north-east of Bodedern village.
Nat. Grid Ref: 342832
Buses: Service No. 504 Holyhead-Amlwch via Llanerchymedd.
Service Nos. 504,507,510 Bangor-Llangefni-Holyhead. (Nearest point, Bodedern.)

*******************

The above is from a 1965 booklet titled - Ancient Monuments of Anglesey, published by the Ministry of Public Buildings and Works.

When was the last time you saw a gov't publication with that sort of info in? The book is obviously gonna be useless for transport information now, but the info and diagrams in it are great. Nice plans of the tombs etc. I particularly like the photo of Trefignath before restoration. (Warning: It also covers later Xtian stuff and castles)
