Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in Gwynedd
Additional information submitted by Drew Parsons September 2010.
The large capstone (3.0 metres by 1.5 metres) sits on three upright stones with a further stone lying next to it. There are two huge quartz stones here and a somewhat dilapidated fence around the site to protect it from cattle. The site is reached by a 200 metre footpath from the road.

This Chamber reminds me of Bodowyr on Anglesey.

On a wonderfully clear day in October, looking north east up the Lleyn Peninsula.

I saw this as I was driving past, I stopped at the head of the drive of the farm and went back to see if it was indeed what I thought I had seen. It is quite beautiful in its setting,it is protected by a fence but this does not detract from the ambience of the site. The views around are a part of its delight.
