25 QUERNS - FINDSPOT, NEAR PERFEDDGOED
 Many years ago a large number of querns were dug up near Bangor. They were so numerous that the
 finder built a good part of a wall of a cottage with them, and they may now be seen there. The house
 stands near the branching of the lane towards Perfeddgoed, about two miles from Bangor on the
 Caernarfon Road. <Arch Camb 1860, 336>
 There is now no trace of a house in the area indicated near the junction of the lane leading to
 Prefeddgoed with the Caernarvon Road. <NAR>
 Querns found at Tyddyn Brwynog. <RCAHMW 1960>
 The A55 dual carriageway runs over the site of the former house of Tyddyn Brwynog.
