Abstract
ABSTRACTThe Christianisation of later prehistoric sites has been hitherto rarely discussed (e.g. Holtorf 1997). However, it is becoming increasingly clear that many churchyards, in particular within the west of Britain possess histories that extend way before their current use and meaning. In this brief note, the authors describe and contextualise a recent discovery of a later prehistoric engraved bowl-mark that was found within the churchyard of St Caffo in Ynys Môn (Anglesey). The church currently standing dates to 1846 and within the curtilage of the churchyard are a number of Early Medieval gravestones, suggesting an earlier church building. The original church, demolished to make way for the current church, was located over a large rock outcrop which during later prehistory was also probably used as a ritual site.
