Bodowyr

The Bodowyr burial chamber is the surviving remains of the central chamber of a passage tomb. Three bearing stones, about one meter high, support a wedge-shaped capstone that is over 2.0 meters long and almost one meter thick at its widest point. A fallen stone nearby could be a former closure stone. The passage tomb would originally have been located in an earthen or stone mound with a narrow entrance. This has been completely removed by erosion, field cultivation or stone theft.
