This must be one of the casualties of the last couple of centuries, as it features in the Rev. John Skinner's 'Ten Days' Tour through the Isle of Anglesey' (1804), but its site doesn't seem to get a mention on Coflein.
It's interesting because it's very near the cromlechs at Presaddfedd, and JS suggests this could have been a two-chamber structure too.
I took two sketches of a very perfect cromlech the upper stone measuring about three yards across supported by two uprights the larger six feet high the other not above four and a half which cause the cap stone to recline in a slanting direction. Another long stone now lying on the ground appears to have been formerly used as a supporter. Near at hand also are three or four flat stones lying promiscuously.
Whether these were ever employed int he formation of a second cromlech like at Praes Addfed I cannot pretend to determine.
