******************************************************************
On land at Bodorwedd there are three standing stones. The stand on top of a hill, and they can be seen from all fields below. Two of them are 7 feet in height and the other is 6 feet. They are 3 feet in circumference at their widest part.
"To the west of the church, and about a mile distant from it, are three upright stones, ten feet in height, disposed in the form of a triangle, twelve feet distant from each other, and supposed to be the remaining supporters of an ancient cromlech, which must, from the elevation of the stones, have been one of the loftiest monuments of that kind in the island ; the table stone, if ever there was one, has disappeared ; but the farm on which the upright stones are found still retains the name of the "Cromlech."
