Visiting the stones means following a footpath over three fields, not a problem, but the high stiles are not for the feint hearted and only for the able bodied. The use of the footpath is definitely not encouraged by its access.

This arrangement of 3 standing stones is quite unique and the original purpose is unclear. Since there are no signs for the access path or parking, you may need to ask a friendly local for the way. It's definitely worth it, if you like these kind of sites. Good photo spot, too!

Well worth a visit. It's in a farmers grass field, a few minutes walk from the road. In the next field is a Dolmen and what looks like some burial mounds.

This trio of standing stones is of questionable age (2000 to 5000 years old) and purpose but is well worth a visit as views from it on a fine day can be quite splendid. I was surprised to find out that no detailed excavations have been carried out on this site to date. All this just adds to it's mystery in my opinion.
The monument is protected and listed and stands out as the only triangular distribution of standing stones on Anglesey. The three stones are schist and are apparently aligned so all three have their long axis orientated North West to South East. There is evidence of some satellite burials near the stones and their is also evidence of a strange trackway like anomaly running Eastwards from the site. All mysterious stuff.
I parked in a large layby to the North East of the site and followed the signposted public right of way into an open field which was confusing at the start as I had to go left into a small holding type field before turning right out of this field some 15 feet later. I then kept the fencing to the left of me and traversed two quite lofty stiles before seeing the stones over the wall still to my left and traversing the nearby stile to get into the field with the stones. All in all this was only a seven minute or so walk with no livestock present. The walk could get a little muddy no doubt in inclement weather.

A little hidden gem located at a beautiful spot with amazing views of hills, sea and planes. Unsure about era of standing stones. Access to it is through footpath close to postbox, from last street on the left as you head north towards Cemaes. You kind of walk through someones garden. Wear appropriate waterproof shoes, ground is very wet at its lowest point. Village is very pleasant. You may wish to visit Din Lligwy Burial (25 min away) site on the same trip.

Non semplice arrivarci, ma vale la pena di fare un tentativo! Dopo un breve sentiero che corre lungo il muro di confine tra due campi, sulla sinistra spunteranno queste tre pietre erette. Il monumento è semplice ma suggestivo, e sicuramente si godrà della pace del luogo assolutamente privo di altri turisti

Not easy to get to as you would have to go through a working farm. From the road it's about 1 mile away across the field. Always best to Ask the farmer for permission to walk through the farm. A tip, if a gate is closed then close it behind you, also if a gate is left open as you walk through then leave it open.
