Local tip

This squat Neolithic tomb near Moelfre looks as if it has sunk into the ground, under a massive capstone about 5.5 metres long and around 25 tons. When it was dug in 1908 it held human and animal bones, pottery and flint tools. Din Lligwy’s Roman-era village is just 400 metres away, so see both.

Good to know

Free, open daily 10am–4pm. Roadside parking only. Can be muddy.
