On a rock under a gorse bush. 1" bolt but has some chips. Dig a bit of pruning before we left.

Bolt on top surface of large rock approx 50m S of gateway to lighthouse. Corner of low, stone-built wall on opp side road. Rock now largely covered with gorse; cut away enough to reveal bolt.

Nice easy access and parking in winter months though in summer time it is probably a case of using thecar park at the top. Nice easy find with help of GPS and previous descriptions. An idylic place on a sunny Spring day like this.

Got this on the way to the Active Station at the Lynas Lighthouse (only 400m further north). Spent 20 mins digging around the base of the rock, looking for a surface block, before I noticed that the bolt is actually in the rock! (As far as I know, this now completes all the trigs on Anglesey

Rock is south of the little parking area
