Lligwy Burial Chamber

There's not much to see but the top stone is very impressive. Could do with better wayfinding from the Din Lligwy site

This burial chamber is well worth a look when you think it would still have been a 3000 year old monument when the Din Lligwy stone village up the road was active and thriving 2000 years ago. It used to hold the remains of 30 men and women and children and the raised limestone pavement leading to it is still visible and just how did they get that 25 ton headstone up to where it is without any metal tools?. There are visible vertical gouge marks in this headstone so were heavy rope pulleys used somehow?. Respectfully fenced it which was nice to see and free to view. Parking at Din Lligwy layby or on a nearby grass verge.

This is a review of the Roman settlement, 12th century chapel and neolithic burial mound. Really interesting, the Roman settlement being the highlight and probably the most interesting of the 3. All within about a mile of llygwy beach so walkable from there and all free to visit. Well worth it, we've stayed at llygwy about 6 or 7 times now over the years but this was the first time we even knew about these monuments. Well worth a visit. The photo below was meant to be a photosphere but it hasn't translated well so just looks weird, can't delete it

Great example of an ancient burial chamber.

Impressive burial chamber, ringed by a knee high modern fence! Worth visiting if you're there anyway for the Chapel and the Romano-Celtic settlement.

Good low multi-supported cromlech. One space to park at the roadside or walk back from Din Lligwy.

Wow how they got this stone to we're it is interesting.

Only a quick visit as it was raining and nowhere suitable to park.
