Eglwys y Bedd, Medieval church in Holyhead, Wales
The stone structure of Eglwys y Bedd features a 14th-century window and retains its original nave section within St Cybi's churchyard.
Archaeological excavations near Eglwys y Bedd revealed artifacts from a Roman fort that protected the island during the third and fourth centuries.
Local traditions connect the church site to Saint Cybi, who established a monastic community in this location during the sixth century.
The building now functions as a church room for St Cybi's parish after undergoing restoration work in 1980 to preserve its structural elements.
During the demolition of nearby ruins in 1833, workers discovered a stone coffin containing human remains of extraordinary proportions.
