Bodowyr Burial Chamber

Another lovely burial chamber This one has a fence around it tho to prevent live stock mainly sheep from going into / under the monument itself.

Bodowyr Burial Chamber (Cromlech)

Erected in the Neolithic period for the communal burial of the dead.

This Cromlech has a gentle and unassuming quality. The wind literally whipped and howled across the land here.

National Cycle Route 8 has so much to see literally alongside the route. Here it's a Neolithic burial chamber, A few miles away at RAF Valley it's an Iron Age Votive Hoard

Nice example good parking but please remember access via farmer field please be respectful. On last visit masks on ground in field. KEEP THE COUNTRYSIDE CLEAN. Luckily had pickup tool and bag in car.

This is a truly splendid example of a Neolithic passage grave that may have been used for communal burial between 4000 and 2000BC. It is quite a striking landmark offering beautiful views of Snowdonia on a clear day. It's almost pyramidal capstone is supported by three standing stones (but it is assumed there was a fourth at some point). There is a smaller still stone to the East which may have marked the entrance to the tomb when the whole chamber was covered in earth. No evidence of this mound remains today however.
I always like to visualize just how these stone chambers must have looked when in use and the all encompassing importance of them to their communities and the sheer age of the structures. They are spiritual places to many and provide another dimension to our fast and often stressful lives that we lead today.
The chamber is fully protected and surrounded by a metal fence and access to the field it is in is marked out by a purpose built swinging metal gate in front of a lay-by parking recess for upto three family sized cars. If you are interested in ancient history or are just spiritual in essence then I would really recommend a visit to this place. I would also recommend reading up on the chamber beforehand to really appreciate it fully.

Nice place to visit but the parking situation could be better.

Excellent burial chamber

Interesting historical site for a short visit set in a quiet countryside location.
