Presaddfed Burial Chamber, Neolithic burial chamber in Anglesey, United Kingdom
Presaddfed Burial Chamber is a Neolithic stone tomb complex on Anglesey featuring two separate burial structures positioned about 7 feet (2 m) apart. The southern chamber retains its original capstone resting on four upright stones, while the northern structure displays a distinct configuration.
The chamber dates to the Neolithic period when early farming communities constructed these burial structures for their dead. The two structures show different orientations, suggesting they were built and used during separate phases of prehistory.
These burial structures represent the mortuary practices of early agricultural communities in Wales, demonstrating their approach to commemorating the deceased.
The site is open year-round and accessible through a gate leading into open pasture. A small roadside parking area near Bodedern serves as a convenient starting point for visiting.
During the early 1800s, a displaced family temporarily sheltered inside these ancient stone chambers after losing their home. The structures thus provided refuge for people in hardship centuries after their original purpose had ended.
