Llaneilian Church, Anglesey, is a 15th-century battlemented building with a tower and pyramidal spire. The church contains a carved oak screen and carvings on the roof beams.
A 14th-century chapel built over site of St Eilian's cell is linked to the church by a passageway. St Eilian's Church is the best preserved of Anglesey's medieval Celtic churches.
Although it may have been founded as early as the 6th century, the oldest surviving masonry dates from the 12th to 15th centuries. The 1496 rood screen bears the image of a hoofed skeleton.
The church was restored in 2002.
