Chambered Cairn

Fieldnotes

This is another site I remeber from childhood holidays in the rain searching out all the ancient burial chambers in Angelsey.

Revisted last year and when we arrived a cool dude from the University was inside. He invited us in and pointed out the spiral markings and the area where strange brews of bones and other bits and pieces where discovered...

The children were open-mouthed and awestruck at the chamber and description of the "witches' brew". This is a fantastic setting and quite a magical experience if you can get inside - the key should be available from the vistor centre in Abbefraw. I understand it's been significantly restored though...
