The Guardian

of Castell Bryn Gwyn (Castle on the White Hill), a neolithic henge monument on Anglesey... Built between 2500 and 2000 BC. "From the Bryn Gwyn Stones the midsummer sun rises over the centre of Castell Bryn Gwyn and through both entrances to the Castell." Two large stones are all that remain of this large circle that must originally have sported 8 stones in a ring of 40 feet in diameter. These are among the tallest standing stones in Wales, with one at 13 feet in height and the other measuring about 10 feet.
