Lligwy Burial Chamber

It consists of a circle of upright stones, made into a low chamber by a very large roof slab estimated at 25 tonnes.

Close to the village of Moelfre, the site is within a few metres of the road, where there is room to leave a single car for short periods.

A gap between the uprights on the eastern side probably indicates where an entrance passage stood, with a way out of the mound; It is unclear whether this chambered tomb was covered by a cairn, but if it was, no trace remains today.

[1] Deep grooves in the limestone capstone imply that erosion by rainfall has taken place, further evidence that the structure may not have been covered by a cairn.

[1] Some 400 m (1,300 ft) to the west lies the well-preserved Din Lligwy hut circle, but this is not a contemporary structure, probably dating from the second to fourth centuries AD.
