LLIGWY BURIAL CHAMBER & VILLAGE

Lligwy Burial Chamber OS Map
OS Ref SH501861

Eight upright stones support the capstone estimated to weigh about 25 tons.

Much of the chamber is below ground level in a natural hollow. The site is ringed by fencing so its impossible to get close. 

 

A short walk past the burial chamber leads to Din Lligwy hut group. A beautifully peaceful area and its not difficult to close one's eyes and imagine the life of an ancient village here, smoke drifting and children playing. 

A mixture of round and rectangular hut bases remain in good order and its well worth a visit even if the chamber is disappointing.
