For some strange reason I was unable to spot this stone.
The O/S map shows it right next to a minor road just south of the busy A5.
We drove up and down and parked up while I looked over the hedgerows.

I had a startle when leaning over one hedgerow when a large bird of prey flew up in front of me only about 4ft away – nice to see this beautiful bird up so close but a bit of a shock!

It was a lovely warm, sunny day and there was good views over to Snowdonia in the distance.

Pity I couldn’t find the stone but now it is time to move on to my next target........

On the A5 between Llangefni and Mona.

Just opposite the entrance to the industrial estate the stone can be seen from the road but it is easy to get into the field.

I couldn't help but notice the rocky outccrop close by in the field.

Standing a little over 1m in height this stone isn't as impressive as the majority of others found on Anglesey, but is easy to find standing by the A5 near the showground. stubob Posted by stubob
