Description
I always think these sites should be better protected from cattle trampling and regularly checked for site security?
There is little information on this site but what I've found is below:
A substantial cairn, 3.0m high, where a large capstone was formally visible. Antiquarian reports suggest a chambered tomb rather than a cist.
(*courtesy Coflein site)
Crug y Dryn , in the community of Trelech , Carmarthenshire , is a round barrow erected by the New Stone Age or Bronze Age people as part of their ceremonies or the burial of the dead; grid reference SN293250 . The name of the neighboring farm on OS maps is: Crugydeirne.
This barrow was registered by Cadw and is known with the US number: CM127. [1] There are nearly 400 round barrows on the register; more than any other type of monument.
Round barrows were first built around 3000 BC and the practice continued until the end of the Bronze Age (about 600 BC), the majority of which were erected between 2400 - 1500 BC
