 The two Penrhos Feilw Standing Stones are approximately 10-11 feet tall. They may have been set up in the early bronze age 2000-1500 BC, since burials of that period have occassionally been found in association with large standing stones such as these. Located within a couple of hundred yards of Plas Meilw ancient settlement.
According to one observer, they face Holyhead Mountain, but also Snowdonia, which is probably their true focus.
