Llaneuddog

Llaneuddog is a hamlet in the community of Llaneilian, Ynys Môn, Wales. It lies along the A5025 road, between Brynrefail and Penysarn, near Dulas.[1] It belonged to the historical parish of Llanwenllwyfo,[2] now part of Llaneilian.[3] The hamlet takes its name from an ancient chapel to St Euddog which was in the vicinity of the A5025.[4] It was recorded in 1920 as having the stones re-used in farm buildings, and the water stoup used as a pig trough at nearby Lligwy. The presumed site is a small enclosure with a crescent-shaped bank thought to be the churchyard boundary.[5]

One of the prominent buildings near the Llaneuddog crossroads is Sardis Baptist Chapel. First built in 1834 it was rebuilt in 1905[6] at the height of the 1904–1905 Welsh revival.

The 1919 Memoirs of the Geological Survey of England & Wales suggests that in the early part of the 20th century there was a brickworks in the area.[7]
