This standing stone is also easy to spot but unlike its southern counterpart it would be tricky to visit without having to first ask permission from the land owner. I therefore settled for a view from the roadside.

The standing stone is approximately 3 metres tall and is set on a raised mound.

You can see this stone from a fair distance, easily 10ft tall and in my opinion one of Anglesey’s best.
