Lligwy Burial Chamber

Lligwy Burial Chamber

Lligwy Burial Chamber is a Neolithic burial chamber near the east coast of Anglesey, close to the village of Moelfre.It consists of a circle of upright stones, made into a low chamber by a very large roof slab estimated at 25 tonnes. Excavation in 1909 found the remains of some 15 to 30 people, and pottery suggesting a late Neolithic date.

The site is within a few metres of the road, where there is room to leave a single car for short periods.
