Llanfaethlu

Llanfaethlu is a village in the north west of Anglesey, in north-west Wales. The community population taken at the 2011 Census was 553. The village takes its name from the Church of Saint Maethlu. The community includes Llanfwrog.

There are two prehistoric scheduled monuments within Llanfaethlu Community. A hill fort with a single bank and ditch lies on a headland near the coastal hamlet of Tre-Fadog, overlooking the sandy bay of Port Trefadog. To the east of the village is the Capel Soar Standing Stone, a large and prominent standing stone visible from the A5025 and close to Soar Baptist Chapel. It is a slab, 3.2 metres high, and 1.7 metres wide at its base, tapering to a rounded top. Roman activity was shown by a small hoard of Roman coins, found in 1929 on a hill to the west of the church, some having been minted when Domitian was emperor, around 90 AD.
