Bachwen submitted by AngieLake on 24th Jul 2006. The lovely dolmen near Clynnog Fawr seems to echo the shapes of the surrounding hills. After a dull afternoon the sun broke through about 6.30pm on 13 June 2006.

Ty Newydd (Llanfaelog) submitted by PaulM on 28th Aug 2001. Ty Newydd Burial Chamber, Ynys Mon (SH345738)
Another monument restored using bricks and also has a broken capstone. Would have been originally covered with a cairn and entered via a short passage from the north east.

Lligwy Burial Chamber submitted by Jimwithnoname on 8th Sep 2011. Amazing dolmen and very unnerving sat underneath the 25 ton capstone. It's perched on very little it seems on the one side. The warden approached us as we sat eating at the site. He asked if we were thinking of stopping the night, which we were, but as he said. that's a no no. We respected him and moved on after our picnic. He was quite pleasant and only doing his job. Many people wild camp as he said, and set fire to crops or drive through hedges!

This stunning cromlech is right on the Pembrokeshire coast, not far from Fishguard. It sits in a coastal sheep meadow, accessable over the cattle grid off the farm driveway. The ambience is magnificent as you can see.

Chun Quoit submitted by sem on 16th Jun 2005. The capstone and the horizon.
There is a theory that dolmens (or quoits as they are known in Cornwall) were not totally covered in earth but the capstones were left uncovered and were a copy of the horizon. I have manipulated the tones in this shot to show this, but no shapes have been altered.
