Whups! Eyup Tim and Baza, I missed this till now. I've made a mistake.

"Hob has posted Caer Bach on TMA at SH744739"

I'm an idiot. It should be SH744729. It's definitley not Cerrig y Dinas. Cheers for leading me to that Baz. In me defence, I think it was the thing I ever posted here ;)

It was me that contacted Tim last year, I'm chuffed to see that pic. The stone shows up lovely. I caught it by full moon, just after sunset, and it seemed to glow. I could hardly make out the mor elocal looking stones by comparison.

The nearby 'healing' well in the yard of the old chapel near Gardedd-Wen (SH451737) is canny. I recall a suspiciously upright stone next to the tree behind the chapel too.

Replying to Hob

Hello Hob... yes that white stone is conspicuously different than the rest of the fort's perimeter rubble embankment. We should be taking a look again on Oct 2nd, but given there are no geologists in the party!

The grid ref you gave for the well / stone places it on the A55 on Anglesey! ;o) The ref should be SH751738 http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=8255 ; this area is going to be well visited by me over the coming year, so I will resolve to investigate.

Cheers

Tim
