Grid Ref: SH 511 383 A forlorn little burial chamber, near the railway line east of Criccieth. The slipped capstone has a notch in it. There seems to be a significant number of smaller stones around the base of the rocks; almost as if it could've been the remains of a cairn?! The stone that still supports the capstone appears to be a different rock type from the rest, like a coarse sandstone
