Pentre Farm Barrow

Situated immediately adjacent to Pentre Farmhouse near Llanelltyd, Gwynedd, this impressive mound measures 22m in diameter and it is 2.8m tall. Partially excavated in 1871 it revealed burnt bone, structural features and artefacts that included spindle whorls and lead and bronze objects. Although constructed for burial and ritualistic purposes in the Bronze Age further artefacts recovered from the site also indicate that it was used in the early medieval period, i.e the latter period of the first millennium.
