Standing Stone
Ty Mawr
SH 254 810

This stone dates back to the Early Bronze Age and is worth stopping to look at. There is room to park beside a gate and stile which provide access to the site. The stone is about 9 feet (1.8 metres) tall and has an excellent texture.

Burial Chambers
Presaddfed Burial Chambers
SH 347 809

Return to the A5 heading towards Bangor and after about 2 miles turn left on the A5025 then after another couple of miles turn right on the B5109. (Just beyond this turning is a standing stone on the right at SH 318 812)

After about 2 miles, passing through the town of Bodedern, take the next left and stop near the first junction you come to. There is a footpath along the right hand lane, follow this and the two burial chambers will be found on the left where a gate provides access.

Presaddfed Burial Chambers

One of the chambers has collapsed and the other has a timber support added to retain the original form. They are very large and heavy stones and, considering the accuracy that the stones fit together in the construction, an impressive feat of engineering.

 

 

  

Structure of the chambers

In the 18th century this chamber is reported to have provided a shelter for a family of squatters.
