Dyffryn Ardudwy submitted by archaeologysafaris

Dyffryn Ardudwy Burial Chambers (GR: SH 589 228 Map 124) are an attractive monument which is easy to find and, for once, is easy to get to!

Two well preserved dolmens, 8.6 meters apart on a bed of white boulders, remain of a two stage structural sequence: A completely closed portal dolmen in its own round cairn was built first. Soon afterwards this was incorporated into a wedge shaped cairn with a larger chamber near the Eastern end fronted by a V-shaped forecourt.

    Strange lights were seen in this area in 1904/05. They seem to have been associated with the Mochras fault part of which lies beneath this monument.
