Burial Chamber

The folks at Cromlech Farm would like to point out that they have no problem with people visiting the site, providing they're polite enough to ask permission first.

They would also appreciate it if visitors did not park cars in front of the garage, leave gates open, nor leave litter at the site.

  • Cromlech Farm

'Viewed over a wall'? Get yourself over the gate IronMan. Then again I was there at 6.30am so everything was quiet.......

The chamber's a funny old jumble of stones, now inhabited by lambs.

This fallen burial site lies in the middle of a field adjacent to Cromlech Farm, and as far as I could tell there is no right of way, so the site must be viewed over the wall. IronMan Posted by IronMan

From hence passing by an old mansion named Cromlech now tenanted by a farmer we came to the spot where many large stones were lying scattered promiscuously on the ground and one nearly square measuring nine feet across leaning against some uprights about six feet high.

From the appearance of this place I should rather imagine that it had been the interior or cistfaen of a carnedd and this opinion seems somewhat confirmed by the accounts of the common people who remember great quantities of stone having been removed to form a wall.
