Bodowyr

Dolmen / Quoit / Cromlech

Folklore

[Cromlechs in North Wales] bear a great variety of names in popular speech ... that at Bodowyr (like the Bryn Celli Ddu chamber) is "The Cave" ... thus did the popular fancy play around these ponderous structures, of the real meaning and purpose of which it had long lost all knowledge.

From 'Memorials of Old North Wales' by E Alfred Jones (1913).
