PENTRE IFAN BURIAL CHAMBER (CADW)

The air of mystery surrounding Pentre Ifan is heightened by its setting and backdrop. Transport yourself to the Neolithic era at Pentre Ifan, where ancestors laid their dead to rest in tombs like the one before them. What stands today is the skeletal structure of a burial chamber, once concealed beneath an earthen mound. The massive 16½ft/5m 'capstone' seems delicately poised on three 'uprights, ' a configuration that has endured for over 5,000 years.
