Barclodiad-y-Gawres is a partially reconstructed Neolithic burial chamber, famous for its decorated stones. The spectacular, cliff side position of this later Neolithic monument is one of its great attractions and accessing it provides a short pleasant walk. Barclodiad-y-Gawres means 'The Giantess's Apronful' and is a traditional local name.

Tours will be at 11.00am, 1.00pm and 3.00pm.

This event is in partnership with North Wales Tourist Guiding Association and the Civic Trust for Wales. It is organised as part of European Heritage Days. More details can be found on the Civic Trust for Wales website: www.opendoorsdays.org.uk

I more than likely wont be able to make it, but i'm glad it's happening at all, peering through the bars is just not good enough at all.

Great stuff Carl. I would love to go along but doubt i'll get the time.

Sanctuary - I've just been reminded, did you ever find out the name or location (in N Wales) of the burial mound in your story? The story where you felt 'held back' from walking toward it.
I would really like to know which site it was.
