Notes: Llanfairisgaer is a rural graveyard on the mainland side of the Menai Straits, in North Wales. The name means the Llan of St Mary below the (roman) fort/camp. The church directly opposite on Anglesey is at Llanidan. It is said that Agricola crossed here to take Anglesey and purge the druids.
