 The Neolithic Bodowyr Burial Chamber consists of a capstone perched on three uprights. The mushroom-shaped capstone measures seven feet by 6 feet. The tomb was originally entered by a short passage to the east. The low sill stone at the front of the uprights marks the entrance to the short passage. Within the entrance is a low boulder that could well be a kerb or sill stone.
Originally, the whole site would have had an earthen or rock covering with a narrow passage leading to an entrance in the side

Journey to Bodowyr Burial Chamber
Bodowyr Burial Chamber is located northwest of the village of Brynsiencyn on a minor road off the A4080 on the Isle of Anglesey, Wales. Go through the village of Brynsiencyn. After going round a steep bend to the left, take the first right turn. Continue up this lane to a staggered crossroads and go straight on. Head up this lane for about half a mile where grass grows in the middle. Just past a kennel there is a small layby beside a metal gate leading to the site. The cromlech is in a field with a metal fence around it. (To go back you can turn in a field entrance further up the lane.)
