Map of the communities of the Isle of Anglesey, Wales

Anglesey includes the largest island in Wales, as well as various nearby smaller islands. Just as Anglesey is joined by bridges to the mainland, so Holy Island is linked to the main island of Anglesey. The 143 scheduled monuments cover over 4,000 years of the history of the islands. Spread throughout the interior and especially the coast of the islands there are 89 prehistoric scheduled sites, including chambered tombs, burial cairns and standing stones, hillforts, hut circles and a henge. Six sites date from the Roman period, and seven from early medieval times. The 18 sites from the medieval post-Norman period include spectacular castles, remote dwellings, and wells, stones and churches. Finally the modern period is mainly agrarian in its purposes, but also includes the copper, coal and brickmaking industries.

Contents

Scheduled monuments are found in 34 of the 40 Community areas on the Isle of Anglesey. Clusters are found in Moelfre on the eastern side (14), Trearddur on Holy Island (11), Llanidan overlooking the Menai Strait (10) and Llangoed in the far east (10). One site, Beaumaris Castle, is part of a World Heritage Site and this plus a further 22 of the monuments are in the care of the Welsh heritage agency, Cadw.

Scheduled monuments have statutory protection. The compilation of the list is undertaken by Cadw Welsh Historic Monuments, which is an executive agency of the National Assembly of Wales. [1] The list of scheduled monuments below is supplied by Cadw. [2] with additional material from the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales and Gwynedd Archaeological Trust.

Recent administrative history

After a spell as part of Gwynedd, the Isle of Anglesey County now covers the same area as the historic county of Anglesey.

SH519689
'Hill of the old people' is a substantial mound with a stone chamber. Bones were found here in 1754, and along with Plas Newydd Burial Chambers (AN005) it was included in the first Ancient Monuments Act in 1882. It was excavated by W J Hemp in 1929–35, and Neolithic pottery appeared to lie under and in front of the mound, suggesting a settlement predating its use as a burial site. The chamber was given a doorway following the dig, but is not accessible to the public. It is visible from the southern edge of Plas Newydd Garden Wood.Prehistoric

SH344738
A huge capstone resting on three uprights formed a spectacular monument, described in 1865 as "one of the gems of the Anglesey Cromlechs". [25] It was excavated in 1936 and a Beaker fragment indicated the Neolithic tomb was re-used during the Bronze Age. The monument is in the care of Cadw, with public access. In recent years, the capstone cracked, since when the whole has been supported by two brick piers.Prehistoric

SH538721
This Burial Chamber on the eastern edge of Llanfair PG, (described on the schedule as 180m NE of Pen-y-Berth), has a large capstone now resting on its collapsed support stones. It was a simple passage grave, suggesting an earlier date than most of the Anglesey neolithic tombs.Prehistoric

SH519826
During sewer works in 1965 what was thought to be a small stone burial chamber was found in what is now an area of housing in Benllech. No ancient remains were found, and the presence of a medicine bottle suggested a more modern date. This left the question of what it might be. A stone goose-pen, corn drier, or a folly have all been suggested but are by no means convincing. In the absence of an explanation it retains its listed status.Prehistoric

Limestone capstone, which appears to be a piece of the local bedrock, levered up and propped in place by other stones. The rise in ground around it may represent a 14m circular mound or cairn that originally covered it. Partial excavation by E.N.

Two large upright stones support a large capstone, which now leans at a steep angle. It was 'plundered' in 1874 when a visitor dreamed of a crock of gold, but found only bones. [31] A full excavation by Lindsay Scott in 1933 found late Neolithic and early Bronze Age burials of 54 individuals. The base of the chamber was cut into the bedrock, and the whole was covered by a mound with stone edging. [32] Prehistoric

SH425719
Three enormous boulders: two blocky and fairly upright, the other a vast slab. They are thought to be glacial erratics which have not travelled far. Striation details suggest some manoeuvering has taken place, and therefore they were probably adapted to create a huge burial tomb. Unverified 19th century reports claimed to have found an urn containing ashes and a ring of blue glass.Prehistoric

Five surviving uprights formed the walls of a small stone chamber. Three of these now support a large mushroom shaped capstone, with one stone not reaching the capstone, and one fallen down.

Two huge standing stones on a field boundary and path east of Brynsiencyn. The taller is 4.2 metres (14 ft) high, the tallest on Anglesey.

SH479667
Massive stone long-identified as a possible burial chamber capstone, in a field west of Brynsiencyn. Doubts have been expressed on whether it was used in such a way, or is simply a glacial erratic. However, the site was excavated by the WRAO team in 2012 and the results clearly showed it was a Neolithic stone chambered monument (as shown by Rowlands in 1823). Several of the original uprights were incorporated into a nearby field boundary. The excavation also yielded flint and a curious piece of [stratified] copper.Prehistoric

There were said to be upwards of 26 round huts, with low walls, paved surfaces, and an impressive selection of Iron Age and some Roman finds. Many of these huts were plundered for stone before a survey and excavations in 1871, and 1900, which found quern, coins, and copper ingots. Six hut outlines remain, and the field has been much ploughed. A possible (but doubtful) stone burial chamber has been described on the western side of the scheduled area.Prehistoric

Complex coastal site with two Bronze Age burial mounds overlaid by Romano-British hut circles that had become buried by wind-blown sand. These were investigated by William Owen Stanley in 1878, with further excavations by B. H. St. John O'Neill of the Ministry of Works prior to road-widening in 1939 which then obliterated some of the settlement. The hut group comprised at least two circular huts with low stone walls and a central post-hole, with hearths suggesting several different phases of occupation. A selection of 2nd to 4th century finds included sherds of Samian ware pottery, a glass bead, a later Iron Age bronze tankard handle, a collection of stone objects including spindle whorls and rotary querns, a pennanular brooch and a carnelian intaglio.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Moelfre, Anglesey</span> Village and community in Anglesey, Wales

Moelfre ( ) is a village, a community and, until 2012, an electoral ward on the north-east coast of the Isle of Anglesey in Wales. The community area covers the village and harbour, and several smaller, dispersed settlements. It includes six scheduled Iron Age hut groups and many other sites of archaeological interest. The harbour was formerly a local fishing port; a lifeboat station has been based here since 1854. Among many shipwrecks off the coast was that of the Royal Charter in 1859. Near the modernised lifeboat station is the RNLI Seawatch Centre. The coastline includes a rocky headland north of the village and a large sandy beach at Lligwy Bay, both traversed by the Anglesey Coastal Path. The 2011 census measured the village population as 710. It was estimated at 614 in 2019.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tref Alaw</span> Community in Anglesey, Wales

Tref Alaw is a community in Anglesey, north Wales. The community takes in the area west and south west of the Llyn Alaw, a man made reservoir which is also the largest body of water on the island. The community consists of a wide network of dispersed farms, and five settlements. Two small villages, close to each other in the centre of the community area are Llanddeusant and Elim. Llantrisant is a hamlet a mile or so to the south-west of Elim. In the north west is the small village of Llanbabo, and in the far south is the tiny hamlet of Llechgynfarwy, of which the principal building is St Cynfarwy's Church. At the 2001 census the community had a population of 606 inhabitants, reducing to 581 at the 2011 census.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Menai Strait fish weirs</span>

The Menai Strait fish weirs are historically important fishing traps used in the fast-flowing tidal waters of the Menai Strait, which separates Anglesey from the rest of North Wales. The strait was particularly well suited to utilising fish weirs. The tidal waters pull huge volumes of water past the coastline with every tide, and the weirs and traps enabled fish to be concentrated into small holding areas from which they can be readily caught. Such methods are thought to have been used from earliest times, but the submerged and standing remains along both the Anglesey and Gwynedd coasts are from medieval and post-medieval periods, and in some cases were still in use into the 20th century.

  73. Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, 1831, Volume 29 p.163 This account describes how, 'until 60 years ago', a hopeful lad or lass would descend down to a holy well near the water's edge, get a mouthful of well-water and two handfuls of sand, and attempt to get back to the chapel on the cliff-top, with the sand and water intact. Success in this was said to pressage being married within the year. The practice was suppressed by Revd Ellis, who also reduced the remote chapel to rubble.
