Chambered Tomb in Anglesey

This tomb is composed of a small oval chamber with drystone walling and two small standing stones near the entrance, roofed with a single capstone. The site was excavated last century but no finds were discovered.

    Benllech - are we sure? (Score: 1)

    I would like to suggest this entry is actually the Pant y Saer tomb
    http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=5297

    Description and appearance seem to match.

    I find no reference to a tomb at the above location for this Benllech entry, and the situation now appears to be underneath / among residential housing if still surviving.

    Cheers, Tim.
