But when we were going to Anglesey this time I remember reading summat about a (pretty destroyed?) one right in Benllech itself - which I guess is the one you've given the ref for.
Yep. The Benllech tomb is in Benllech and is, quite frankly, shagged :-) I'll add it later with a plan from the excavation.

Also got the excavation report from Trwyn Du. The original monument was quite amazing ...

Just to add to the confusion, I've loooked on Coflein, and it lists the following:

Benllech (SH51908275) - now not scheduled as it has been identified as a goose house.
Bwlch (SH50758240) - chambered tomb with large capstone
Glyn (SH51428172) - burial chamber on limestone terrace.

So, I guess Bwlch is the correct name for what we've been calling Pant y Saer.
And what is a goose house - surely it's not an actual house for geese?

I've already added it with a little note incase peeps have looked at Benllech on here before & are bamboozled by the fact it's not in the same place & there are no pix or fieldnotes anymore! ;^)
