Bryn Celli Ddu Burial Chamber on Anglesey.
Bryn Celli Ddu. SH 507702
Close to the village of Llanddaniel Fab. This burial chamber
is deservedly one of Anglesey's most important ancient monuments,
and dates from circa 3000 years BC. A spiral inscription on one
of the stones to the back of the mound is probably of Celtic
origin.

Originally designed and built as a circle henge with a diameter
of fifty seven feet, in the late Neolithic period this was destroyed
by the building of the present burial chamber. Possibly suggestive
of two early different religious cultures. It has a passage of
over 25 feet, leading into the actual burial chamber. Inside
you come across a free standing stone pillar. The site was excavated
and repaired in four years, starting in 1927.
