This
is another day out drive/walk to explore the various burial chambers and
standing stones on the east of Anglesey. The best map is the OS 114 which
covers the whole island.

Standing Stone
Continue on the A5025 and cross the roundabout then at the
next crossroads, in under a mile, turn right. After about a quarter of a
mile there is a gate on the left and a passing place to stop further on
the right. The main standing stone here is quite impressive at SH 554 739.
To reach it helped that the gate had fallen over and it is on the top of a
hill in a field standing about 8ft (2.4m) high. Luckily the sun came out
for this photograph. There is a smaller standing stone a couple of hundred
metres southwest in a muddy field.

Standing Stones Continue on this narrow lane to Llansadwrr and turn right
on the B5109. After about a mile a house with the name sign Cremlin
appears on the left. The lane here leads to a farm where there are two
standing stones. Ask permission in the first house or the farm to visit
the stones as the owners prefer this as the first stone is in the middle
of a potato field. The stones are at SH 572 774 and SH 572 776. Park at
the farm and you can see the first one in the field. When we visited in
November the stone was covered in a sack, presumably as a scarecrow, and
the potatoes had been picked. This is about 6ft (2m) high.
To reach the second stone walk up the lane to a gate, go
through it and turn left. The 8ft (2.4m) standing stone is in the middle
of the field.

Cromlech Return to the B5109 and turn right. After about 2 miles
look out for a right bend sign by a tall stone wall on the left and just
after it watch for a left turn with a footpath sign. Stop here and look
over the wall to see what seems to be two burial chambers in the middle of
the field at SH 551 774. There is no apparent access to this site as the
field gate on the footpath does not open. We walked back along the road
and opposite the cromlechs there is a newly cemented up section of wall
where it looks as if people have climbed over.
