Tinkinswood Burial Chamber,St Nicholas Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales, Uk


Tinkinswood was a once a village but now all that remains is the burial chamber, which was built about 6000 BP, about 1,000 years or so before Stonehenge was constructed. The site was excavated in 1914, and inside the chamber there were 920 human bones, which were nearly all broken.
