Trearddur aka Coetan Arthur Burial Chamber is in Holyhead, Anglesey, Prehistoric Anglesey Burial Chambers.
Archaeologia Cambrensis 1867. About a quarter of a mile further on, near Trearddur farm, close to the road on the right, there are the traces of a similar cromlech [Trearddur aka Coetan Arthur Burial Chamber [Map]] (now nearly obliterated), called Coetan Arthur. Near this spot, in 1837, a vessel containing a great many Roman copper coins was found, of the later emperors. I took them to the British Museum, but there was none peculiar; and I regret that they were purloined in transmission by post to the owner. Nearer Holyhead, on the same road, there is a fine maenhir on the right, in a field near Ty Mawr farm. W. O. Stanley. Penrhos. March 23, 1867.
Archaeological Journal Volume 28 1871 Pages 97-108. 23. Trearddur [Map] (w).
