Ty Newydd Burial Chamber
June 2001 - Due to Foot and Mouth restrictions in place at the time, I was only able to view this site from a distance.

This chambered tomb has be restored -but unsympathetically. The huge tilted capstone split and is now partly supported by brickwork and concrete. It is a shame as this once impressive monument, built on the highest part of the local landscape, was a fine example of a Welsh dolmen.
Although there were no finds of burial remains from the site, fragments of later pottery and arrowheads would suggest that although the tomb dates from the Neolithic, it was being reused in the early Bronze Age.
