Description :
Ynys Cefni, 1 mile SSE of Llangefni Church - a possible occupation site. Roughly circular limestone outcrop about 80yds x 100yds and 10 to 15ft high, partly quarried away on the N and W. Only visible sign of occupation is a bank 2-3ft high along the NE base. In poor condition. A saddle quern and muller found here c.1863 during railway construction. <1>
Mound shows on AP's. <2>
Site as described by RCAHM, the low scoop slope in the NE probably the result of drainage work in the area. Nothing known locally regarding the whereabouts of the finds, though there are several unprovenanced saddle querns in Bangor Museum. <3>
