Ynys y Fydlyn ( German Insel Fydlyn ) is a tidal island in the northwest of Anglesey in Wales in a coastline belonging to the National Trust . The second leg of the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path between Porth Trwyn near Llanfaethlu and Cemaes passes the island.
The Royal Commission on the ancient and historical monuments of Wales did not find any evidence during an investigation of the island in 1994 that it was used as a Promontory Fort . In a 2004 study by the Gwynedd Archaeological Trust for the Welsh heritage agency Cadw , the island is named as a possible site for a Promontory Fort, but the complex is classified as "strange and unsafe". A wall on the flatter south side could be anthropogenic, but had no gate system, which was due to erosion. Within the possible fortification there was only room for a hut, a round structure, also referred to as a hut in the past, is probably an overgrown water basin.
The Swedish barque Hudiksvall sank here in November 1890. The 16-man crew was rescued from Holyhead by the lifeboat hurrying up .
