Brynsiencyn, Anglesey
, Wales.
Description
The
burial chamber, consisting of a 2.5 metres by 1.8 metres capstone lying on two collapsed stones, which may have been the upright stones. Multiple stones surround the monument.[1]
Whether it's a burial chamber or not is disputed, as some claim that it's just a large boulder in the middle of a field.[2]
The site was examined as early as 1723, when Henry Rowlands, an antiquarian, visited and drew the tomb, which at the time stood upright.[3]
Excavations
On 21 March 2014, an
Copper Age taking place in the British Isles.[3]
