There is a series of stepping stones near to the village of Dwyran, and a Grade II bridge near Penmynydd. DescriptionAfon Braint is a river in the south of the island of Anglesey, North Wales.{{sfn | Plant| 2014 | p=82}}. Its primary source is Llyn Llwydiarth, (coordinates: [https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/53%C2%B017'02.0%22N+4%C2%B010'41.3%22W/@53.283884,-4.1803217,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d53.283884!4d-4.178133?hl=en 53.283884, -4.178133]), a lake on Mynydd Llwydiarth, within the Pentraeth Forest, east of Penraeth, and south-west of Llanddona. This river is unusual, in so far as it has two estuaries; Both flow into the Menai Strait to the south of the island. The river splits near Llanfairpwllgwyngyll (at coordinates: [https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/53%C2%B013'08.9%22N+4%C2%B013'41.4%22W/@53.2142656,-4.22169,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d53.219124!4d-4.228168?hl=en 53.219124, -4.228168]), where one branch flows briefly eastwards, then south into the Menai Strait at Pwllfanogl (at coordinates: [https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/53%C2%B012'56.4%22N+4%C2%B012'09.8%22W/@53.21566,-4.2049057,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d53.21566!4d-4.202717?hl=en 53.215660, -4.202717]). The other main branch of Afon Braint flows south westward from Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, towards Brynsiencyn, parallel and to the north of the A4080 road until Dwyran, where it turns south-west, passing beneath the road, flowing into the Menai Strait at Traeth Abermenai, east of Newborough Warren, near Pen-Lôn. At this terminus, Afon Braint is a tidal river (coordinates: [https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/53%C2%B008'52.0%22N+4%C2%B020'10.3%22W/@53.146412,-4.3358398,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d53.147763!4d-4.336195?hl=en 53.147763, -4.336195]). In modern Welsh, the word 'braint' means, 'privilege, prerogative, birthright; honour, dignity, blessing; status, position, rank, value, state; right, freedom, liberty'[1], however the river name is thought to derive from Brigantia, a goddess in Celtic (Romano-British and Gallo-Roman) religion of Late Antiquity.[2] The prehistoric Bryn Celli Ddu, considered to be one of Wales's finest passage graves,[3] is located {{convert|200|m|ft}} from the river.{{sfn | Cummings|Whittle| 2004 | p=51}} Near to the village of Dwyran, there is a series of large limestone stepping stones across the river.{{sfn | Plant| 2014 | p=82}} There is a Grade II listed bridge in close proximity to Penmynydd.[4] In 2004, the river flooded causing disruption to the train services on the Holyhead to Chester line at the Llanfairpwllgwyngyll crossing.[5] A tugboat has been named after the river; the Afon Braint was delivered to the Holyhead Towing Company in April 2005.[6] Notes1. ^http://www.geiriadur.ac.uk/ 2. ^{{cite book|first=Kristoffer|last=Hughes|title=The Book of Celtic Magic: Transformative Teachings from the Cauldron of Awen|publisher=Llewellyn Worldwide, 8 Aug 2014|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=O-sOBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT98}} 3. ^{{watprn|coflein|93827}}, RCAHMW, accessed 12 June 2014 4. ^{{cite web|title=Bridge over the Afon Braint, Penmynydd|url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-5556-bridge-over-the-afon-braint-penmynydd/osmap#.VxKNsTArLIU|publisher=British Listed Building|accessdate=16 April 2016}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Jones|first1=Ceri|title=Brace Yourself for Wet Wednesday|url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-123631796.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160529072437/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-123631796.html|dead-url=yes|archive-date=29 May 2016|accessdate=16 April 2016|work=Western Mail|date=16 October 2004|subscription=yes|via=HighBeam Research}} 6. ^{{cite news|title='Afon Braint' - the Latest of a Successful Breed|url=http://www.maritimejournal.com/news101/tugs,-towing-and-salvage/afon_braint_-_the_latest_of_a_successful_breed|accessdate=16 April 2016|work=Maritime Journal|date=1 May 2005}} References{{refbegin}}
