About This Book

A ten-day travel journal from a December 1802 tour of Anglesey, recording daily routes, landscape impressions, and close antiquarian observations. Entries catalogue prehistoric monuments, cromlechs, standing stones, church architecture, inscribed stones, fonts, and local buildings, often accompanied by measured plans, sketches, and notes on finds and coins. The narrative mixes topographical description with archaeological commentary, preserves local names and traditions, and documents restorations and architectural details for later study.
