View N of two exposed Neolithic chambered tombs at Presaddfed, Anglesey, Wales, UK. They are 2m apart but unconnected; N burial chamber has collapsed
View N of two exposed & unconnected Neolithic chambered tombs at Presaddfed, Anglesey, Wales, UK. The N burial chamber has collapsed but the S one has its capstone in place supported by four uprights forming a polygonal chamber. The site is confusing, but it is possible that two separate tombs were built at different times & then covered by one mound or cairn long since robbed. Local tradition says that in 1801 a family evicted from a nearby cottage made their home in the S chamber.
