The. Gate to the church is open most days till about 4pm and it is well worth a look inside. Car parking is for the Din Lligwy stone settlement which itself is only about 300 metres away over a field and through a gate and up...

Lligwy Burial Chamber is a neolithic ritual burial site. Discovered in 1908, the 5000 year old dolmen was the final resting place of between 15 and 30 men, women and children. The megalithic capstone is one of the largest in Britain, a 25 tonne slab of limestone levered into place from the surrounding limestone pavement. Like Barclodiad y Gawres and Bryn Celli Ddu nearby, it is most likely this chamber would have been covered by a mound of earth and rocks. Small layby for parking nearby. Single track roads.

Dating back to the first half of the 12th century. The chapel's original purpose is unknown, but it might have been used as a memorial chapel or in connection with a local royal court, or as a chapel of ease in a large parish with a growing population. It was used for a time until the early 18th century as a private place of worship for a nearby house, then later fell into disrepair. The walls still remain, with some traces of render on them internally, but there is no roof.
