Archaeological Journal Volume 28 1871 Pages 97-108. 12. Henblas [Map], Llangristiolus par. (w). On the N.W. side of Malldraeth Marsh, and not far from the Mona Inn. Described in 1846 by the late Rev. H. Longueville Jones, in his Memoir on the Cromlechs Extant in Anglesey, Arch. Journ., vol. iii. p. 40, and there affirmed to be "one of the most stupendous cromlechs, if it be a cromlech, in this or any other island." It was approached, as there stated, by an avenue of stones from the S.E., which, as Mr. Jones was informed in 1846, by the man who did it, were buried by him j ust as they stood, in order to disencumber the surface. See also his list of Cromlechs in Mona, Arch. Cambr., third series, vol. i. p. 25. It has been more fully noticed by the Rev. Hugh Prichard, in a memoir in Arch. Cambr., third series, vol. xii. p. 466, with a plan and a view of the remains. See Angh. Llwyd, Hist. Anglesey, p. 281.
