Description A good example of where the Ox Burial was situated outside the tomb entrance, shown here in a sectional model. (From Pre Roman Britain, by Stanley Thomas, 1965, Studio Vista, London.)
"Model of the Bryn Celli Ddu passage grave, showing the kerb, small antechambers, passage and central chamber as well as some of the many additional ritual structures. In the foreground is a pit containing the whole skeleton of an ox, flanked by walls and with a timber structure facing the tomb. [NMW]"
