The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) tells us that Llanymynych Hill has now been 'turned into one of those awful golf-courses'. Their entry for this site describes a 'once-impressive chambered tomb' (of which nothing remains) and gives us some of the archaeology and history of the area, together with an 1835 ground plan of the lost tomb.
