Trefignath (Chambered Cairn) — Fieldnotes |
|
Just visited the site again this Christmas, the old road has now been side stepped by a new one, there is a parking space on the new road, then you cut across grass to the old road and original entrance. No directional signs to the site are present at the time of writing. This is such a shame, as the new road seems to go to nothing, with it's lovely roundabout, very nice and new- leading to nothing, don't know what's going on here. Shame as the new road layout now seems pointless, going to an imaginary industrial estate. I didn't see the standing stone that used to be in the field opposite. |

Plas Cadnant (Standing Stone / Menhir) — Fieldnotes |
|
Parking isnt impossible, if only for a while park opposite the gate to the field. Possibly the best sited stone on Anglesy, from the stone the Menai straits are invisible and the whole northern flanks of Snowdonia dominate the view, plus the stone is a good eight feet tall atleast. We didnt stay long, sheep with lambs eyed us with more than suspicion. |

Ty Newydd (Dolmen / Quoit / Cromlech) — Miscellaneous |
Looking towards Aberffraw, near the shore, at Tynewydd, Llanfaelog, a double cromlech can, or rather, could be seen: one has been used up, the other has been broken. An "improving" tenant made hedges of the first; and a worshipping tenant, apparently believing in the fitness of what he considered an "altar" to the occasion, made a bonfire on the second to celebrate the coming of age of his landlord, and thus split the ponderous mass (5 feet thick and 13 1/2 feet long) in two. The stone is of the metamorphic rock of the country.From 'Annals and Antiquities of the counties and county families of Wales" by Nicholas Thomas (1872). |

Bodowyr (Dolmen / Quoit / Cromlech) — Folklore |
|
[Cromlechs in North Wales] bear a great variety of names in popular speech ... that at Bodowyr (like the Bryn Celli Ddu chamber) is "The Cave" ... thus did the popular fancy play around these ponderous structures, of the real meaning and purpose of which it had long lost all knowledge. From 'Memorials of Old North Wales' by E Alfred Jones (1913). |
