Anglesey Rock Art Project

Llwydiarth Esgob Stone – Noted by Francis Lynch in 1974 a boulder with double cup and ring mark with groove and further cupmarks. Following a recent photographic survey there is much more to the art than previously thought. As well as the possibility of below ground rock-art the survey may have revealed distinct similarities with art of the Boyne Valley, thus strongly adding further to the suggestion of an Irish influence for the rock-art found in north Wales.

As well as excavation we will be conducting rock-art surveys and recording at other monuments on Anglesey including Barclodiad y Gawres where we have discovered art in recent surveys. Field tours of the many fascinating monuments on Anglesey will take place in small groups during the four days of the project. Techniques covered are, excavation and recording, special methods of photographic and other non-contact recording of megalithic rock-art.
