	Bryn Celli Ddu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bryn Celli Ddu is a prehistoric site on the Welsh island of Anglesey located near the town of Menai Bridge.
		Norman Lockyer, who in 1906 published the first systematic study of megalithic astronomy, had argued that Bryn Celli Ddu marked the summer solstice.
		This alignment links Bryn Celli Ddu to a handful of other sites, including Maes Howe and Newgrange, both of which point to the midwinter solstice.

	Bryn Celli Ddu - Passage Grave and Henge - Anglesey
		It seems there must be a dark tale of conflicting ideas back in the past of Bryn Celli Ddu, with the adherents of the old traditions destroying and then burying a monument that symbolised the introduction of new beliefs.
		The original Henge at Bryn Celli Ddu was not a large example of it’s kind, it’s central area had a diameter of about 20m, and this was surrounded by a 2m deep flat-bottomed ditch that was about 5m wide.
		Bryn Celli Ddu is crammed with unusual features, and is a very pleasant monument to visit, especially for the megalithic fan that knows a little about its turbulent past.

		At both Bryn Celli Ddu and Bryn Celli Wen, large stones were collapsed and buried prior to the construction of new monuments.
		In the case of Bryn Celli Wen, it is interesting to note that while the standing stone was effectively removed from the landscape, it nonetheless provided the location for another monument, which 'hid' the earlier stone within its fabric.
		It is made of the same sedimentary rock as the Bryn Celli Wen stone, and is similar in form, yet it was left standing.

	Southampton Archaeology - Research - Anglesey Archaeological Landscape Report
		Over the 1990 to 1992 seasons, the principal method for the investigation of traces of prehistoric activity was that of shovel-testing: the cutting of 1 x 0.5 metre pits down to subsoil level on a grid basis, one pit in each ten metre square.
		A transect of pits was excavated running across the valley of the Afon Braint, centred on the Bryn Celli Ddu chambered tomb (SH 508703), and topsoil distributions of chipped stone and other materials were thereby monitored.
		In the course of this work, a substantial concentration of prehistoric material was encountered on the western flank of Bryn Celli Wen (c.

		Francis Penrose, first director of the British School at Athens, published on Greek temple alignments and even designed the Director's house off-axis from the rest of the school to face the equinoctial sunrise.

		One such is at Bryn Celli Ddu on the island of Anglesey on the north-west coastline of Wales.
		The history of this island goes back to the time of the Neolithic tribes and from then on is a fascinating glimpse into the story of the island through the Roman occupation, the Middle Ages, with the building of Beaumaris Castle by Edward I and the coming of the railways.

		To obtain a deeper historical appreciation, one could consider the various ancient and medieval legends with an open mind and then decide for yourself which ones are a better "fit".
		It has recently been suggested (by Knight and Lomas) that Freemasonry ultimately evolved from Megalithic tribes who, having discovered science and astronomy, constructed numerous astounding astronomical observatories including Newgrange on the river Boyne, Bryn Celli Ddu and Stonehenge between 7100 BC and 2500 BC.
		It is believed that these sites enabled those tribes to accurately chart the seasons and years by observing the rotations of the sun and the third brightest object in the sky, Venus.
