I spotted from a bus in Cardiff in front of some ones house what i presume is a replica tomb that looks very similar to St Lythans chambered tomb.
Any ideas anyone?

Received this by email from Cardiff museum about it:
"The house where the megalith is located was built by James Howell (as in the store, presumably) who donated it to the city for use as a hospital for limbless sailors in 1918 (Prince of Wales Hospital). A Miss Cory of Dyffryn House (of the Cory Shipping line family) donated the stones, which are replicas of the long barrow/cromlech stones at St Lythans(?) There is a plaque by the stones which records these facts."
