Bachwen Take the A499 towards Pwllheli and just after Aberdesach park opposite the church in Clynnog on a side road by the pub near the Post Office. The footpath is not signed but it is the lane that goes between two stone gateposts on the south side of the church. Walk down this to a kissing gate and carry straight on along the tarmac lane. You will get a glimpse of the chamber on the skyline on the left. Where the lane bends sharply to the right, turn left here onto a signed footpath. Go over a stile and head on to the chamber.
The small chamber is in the centre of a field overlooking the sea. The capstone is supported on four uprights and is quite thin. The chamber is rectangular shaped and believed to be a portal dolmen.

The capstone is covered in cupmarks, some of which are quite deep. There are 110 of them on the top of the capstone and a further 8 on the top of the east side of the stone. There are also two faint grooves on the top. The chamber is tightly surrounded by a metal fence but is set in attractive scenery.
