Parc le Breos Burial Chamber, Gower, Wales


Parc le Breos Cwm in the Gower is a partly restored Neolithic chambered tomb, identified in 1937 as a Severn-Cotswold type of chambered long barrow. The cromlech, a megalithic burial chamber, was built around 6,000 years ago, during the early Neolithic. It is about seven miles west south–west of Swansea, in what is now known as Coed y Parc Cwm on the Gower Peninsula.
