DescriptionThe Bodowyr Burial Chamber is a megalithic monument now consolidated for public viewing. It consists of five upright orthostatic stones, one now fallen, which define a polygonal chamber. Three of the stones support a mushroom shaped capstone about 2.5m by 1.9m and up to 0.9m thick. The chamber would have lain within a cairn or mound of which there is now no trace. It can be identified as a Neolithic ritual or funerary monument.
