Keys from Wayside Store (A4080), not Aberffraw – 5 quid deposit also gets you a torch, but bring your own, just in case.
Great! deserted passage mound on promontory stretching out into the saline tossed Celtic Sea.
The main orthostat is excellent – pecked chevrons and spirals – I consider a goddess stone, on the strength of [cawres] ‘Gawres’; I would like to have been more aware of the cruciform arrangement of the mound, however – it is now very ‘dome-like’ inside, as well as out.
This is a magical location – when I arrived a solitary Sand Martin was flitting to and fro within the mound, illuminatied by the entrance, flying round and round in circles; One of a pair, they had nested in the concrete dome.
I take the ‘goddess stone’ for the owl goddess, also found in prehistoric France, and the magical stew as an offering to her – I am reminded of Blodeuwedd from the Mabinogion...
