SS Castilian/ Fydlyn Bay A/A shells

Took a walk along to a small cove at Fydlyn Bay ,camel head ,Anglesey just up the road and was very surprised to find hidden in the rocks the remains of heavy shells that have been blown up here.
The bits are scattered about and one find was this base fuse , the shells had come from the SS Castilian around 1987 by as the R.N removed e.o.d.s. from this area, the SS Castilian sunk after running aground on The Skerries on the 12th February 1943 her cargo contained many 4.5 inch and 40mm A/A shells plus aircraft propellers .


The rocks at the foot of the cliff are full of bits and there has been a rock fall most likely during demolition operations !.
