Browndod Court Tomb
Browndod Court Tomb submitted by ainsloch : The forecourt (Vote or comment on this photo)
This is a classic example of a court tomb, situated atop a hill out of sight from the road. However the experience is slightly marred by the electricity pylon which overshadows the site.

To access the site you need to park just before a lane leading off the Browndod road (there is a small sign with several house numbers on it), then walk up the lane by an old shed on your left, enter the field just after the shed and head straight up the hill, crossing into another field as you go. There is a pylon at the top of the hill and the court tomb is located right next to it.
