Bodowyr Burial Chamber, Neolithic burial chamber in Llanidan, Wales.
Bodowyr Burial Chamber is a Neolithic tomb made of three upright stones supporting a large wedge-shaped capstone, with an additional fallen stone lying nearby. The structure shows the basic construction method used during the New Stone Age for communal burials.
This tomb was built during the Neolithic period as a communal burial place for early settlers on Anglesey. Its construction method reflects building practices that were common across western Europe at that time.
The location of this tomb offers direct views toward the mountains Snowdon and Glyderau, which may have held special meaning for the people who built it.
Reaching the tomb involves a short walk across a field from Bodowyr Farm, and there is no entrance fee. The site is accessible year-round and remains open during daylight hours.
The tomb retains its original mushroom-shaped capstone, a building style found more often in Ireland than in Wales. This form shows connections between cultures that existed across the sea from one another.
