Summary: "Ten Days' Tour through the Isle of Anglesea, December, 1802" by Rev. John Skinner is a travelogue written in the early 19th century. This account details a journey through Anglesey, focusing on the exploration of Celtic remains and ancient structures. The narrative is anchored in the author's personal experiences, sketches, and observations, providing insight into the history and archaeology of the region. At the start of the travelogue, the author sets out from Capel Cerig with an interpreter, aiming to examine the Celtic remains of Anglesey. They embark on their journey, riding horseback, and then navigate to the island via a skiff due to delays with the ferry. Skinner reflects on the Roman invasion as he traces paths linked to ancient history, documenting various ruins, buildings, and artifacts encountered along the way, including circular foundations, cromlechs, and ancient dwellings. The opening portion lays the groundwork for the exploration of the island's rich archaeological tapestry, blending historical reflection with the immediacy of the travel experience.
