Bryn Gwyn stones, Neolithic stone circle in Anglesey, Wales.
Two tall standing stones remain from an original circle of eight stones, with one measuring 4 meters as Wales's highest standing stone.
The stone circle, first documented in 1723 by Henry Rowlands, underwent disturbance in 1797 when locals searched for buried treasures beneath the stones.
Archaeological excavations between 2008 and 2010 revealed evidence of cremation deposits from four individuals, including an infant, near the stone circle.
The stone circle stands on a low ridge near the Afon Braint river, accessible through a footpath connecting from Bryngwyn-mawr along the A4080 road.
Recent investigations identified seven stone pits from the original circle, confirming alignment with summer solstice sunrise and winter solstice sunset positions.
