Llanddyfnan

Visited 8.9.12

As previously stated this stone is very easy to visit – right next to the B5109.

You can pull in next to the field gate.

The stone is approximately 7ft tall x 2ft wide – covered in yellow and white lichen.

Good one to visit.

Well worth visiting the Stone Science museum virtually opposite. Interesting book store and lots of dinosaur stuff to interest the kids!

Folklore

Llanddyfnan
Standing Stone / Menhir

[Saint] Dyfnan is reputed to have been a son of Brychan Brycheiniog, but his name is not found in either version of the Cognatio. He is the patron of Llanddyfnan, in Anglesey, where he is buried, according to tradition.

You would imagine, due to the proximity of the church to the stone, that there would be a story to connect the stone with the saint. But I don’t know of one.. Surely there’s one out there somewhere.
