(User Info | Send a Message) | Located on a N-W facing slope, the tomb is one of three coastal burial sites in south-west Wales which appear to have been purposely concealed from the sea. A ‘double cromlech’ with 2 capstones is supported by two uprights. There are traces of a mound between both chambers and on the western side of the western chamber. However, both structures are today badly damaged. During the latter years of the 19th century, a tenant farmer from nearby St Elvis Farm was asked to stop ‘blasting’ bits of the tomb structure away.

Neolithic Chambered Monuments of Wales by George Nash. Photographed during an Archaeology Safari of Pembrokeshire 1st December 2002. | [ Reply to This ]
