Penrhos Feilw Pair of Standing Stones
on Anglesey.
Penrhos Feilw Standing Stones - Holyhead SH 227809.
This site dates from the early Bronze age - 2000-1500 BC, and
the pair of standing stones are quite enigmatic. They face
Holyhead mountain, but also Snowdonia, which is probably their
true focus. They stand about 11 foot tall, and the same distance
apart. Located within a couple of hundred yards of `Plas
Meilw` Settlement. It is said that evidence of a cist burial
containing arrow and spear heads were found between the stones,
which
may once have been the centre of a circle of stones, but in
truth this site remains a mystery. There are several standing
stones in the area that may or not be original. It is certainly
true to say that thousands of years ago this area was once
the location of lots of activity.
