I am currently doing some research on this site, in order to complete an essay looking at how site is 'influenced more by land or sea'...I have been finding it difficult to gather the relevent information and cannot visit the site personally. For those that have had the opportunity to see this site may I ask if:

1.) Is there any rock art of any discription, I believe there is one depicting the Sagiterious sign..apparently

2.) Where abouts is the quartz located

3.) What view can you see looking from the site,

4.) Is the site visible if you were standing from the nearest mountain/higher landscape?

Thanks

Not that I remember finding.

Couldn't answer that.

The land drops away flat to most sides, trees obscure the view up the hill. Other hills are very distant.

I think you'd struggle to see it from the distant hills.

Dunno if this is any help but apart from paasage graves and a portable from from LLannerch -y -medd the only other rock from Anglesey is stone found at Clegyrdy Bach, that had two cups and a ring and a possible man made marking that could be construed as arrow shaped/saggiatarian but a bit of imagination required to do so .
