The Penrhos Feilw Standing Stones are a pair of standing stones on Holy Island west of Anglesey in north-west Wales. They are thought to date from the Bronze Age but their origins and purpose are unclear. They are about {{convert|3|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} high and are a similar distance apart. StonesThe stones are located behind the farmhouse of Plas Meilw, some {{convert|2|km|1|abbr=on}} southwest of Holyhead and a similar distance south of Holyhead Mountain. Little is known about the history of the stones. They are believed to be between 3,500 and 4,000 years old and are a Scheduled ancient monument.[1] The exposed part of each stone is about {{convert|3|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} high and {{convert|1|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} broad at the base, but only about {{convert|20|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} thick. They are situated about {{convert|3|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} apart on an open grassy place above Porth Dafarch between two low hills. They are aligned along their long axes in a northeasterly/southwesterly direction, with a fine view of the coast and towards Holyhead Mountain. There are theories that they may have formed part of a stone circle, however there is no evidence to support this. It is also said that there was previously a stone cist between them, but again this story lacks supporting evidence.[2] There may be some significance to the fact that they are located just {{convert|100|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} from the Plas Meilw hut circle but their presence here is "quite enigmatic".[1] AccessThe stones are in the care of Cadw; the site is open to the public throughout the year, except around Christmas and the New Year, free of charge. Access is through a kissing gate and across a grassy field, and there is a pull-in by the roadside, large enough for a single car.[3] References{{commonscatinline}}1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.anglesey.info/penrhos-feilw-standing-stones.htm |title=Penrhos Feilw Pair of Standing Stones on Anglesey |work=Anglesey Môn Information Website |accessdate=3 May 2016}} {{European megaliths}}{{coord|53.2957|-4.6618|type:landmark_region:GB|display=title}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.stone-circles.org.uk/stone/penrhosfeilw.htm |title=Penrhos Feilw |publisher=Stone-circles.org.uk |accessdate=3 May 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://cadw.gov.wales/daysout/penrhosfeliwstandingstones/?lang=en |title=Penrhos Feilw Standing Stones |publisher=Cadw |accessdate=3 May 2016}} 3 : Scheduled monuments in Anglesey|History of Anglesey|Megalithic monuments in Wales |
