Bodewryd Standing Stone on Anglesey.
Bodewryd Standing Stone. SH 406902
Certainly one of the tallest and mythical of Anglesey's standing
stones. I didn't have any measuring tape with me but it was about
double
my height, and must therefore be between 11 and 12 feet tall.
Stands erect in the middle of a field on the Plas Bodewryd estate.
In the welsh language the stone is known both as Carreglefn
- the smooth stone, and also as Maen Pres - the brass stone.
A legend says that if you cut into the ground around its shadow
at a certain time of the day then you will discover treasures
buried in a brass container. It is also said that if you can
first find, and then read a supposed inscription on the stone,
then this enormous stone will move aside to reveal the treasure.
