Bryn Celli Ddu is a prehistoric site on the Welsh island of Anglesey located near Llanddaniel Fab. Its name means "the mound in the dark grove". The monument is generally considered to be one of the finest passage tombs in Wales. Unlike many stone chambered tombs, this not only has a complete passage and burial chamber, but is also buried under a mound or cairn. Several unusual stones are at the site. Free-standing inside the burial chamber is a smooth stone pillar, some 2 m (6.6 ft) high, with a very rounded shape. Shaped stones of this sort are very rare.
