Vandring
Carreg Samson, also known as ‘Samson's Stone’ is a wonderful example of a cromlech, an exposed Neolithic burial chamber. The chamber is situated in farmland above the bay of Aber Castle and affords fantastic views across the Irish Sea. The large capstone, which is 15 feet (four-and-a-half metres) long and nearly nine feet (nearly three metres) wide, perches on three of the seven upright stones. Legend has it that St Samson placed the capstone in position using only his little finger.

Vandring
Carreg Samson, a dolmen, lies over Abercastle Bay, near Fishguard.
The capstone is approximately 4 1/2 m long and 2.7 m wide. It lies on three of the seven upright support stones. The dolmen was previously covered by a mound of earth or stone. At the beginning of the 20th century, the gaps between the stones were closed so that the dolmen could be used as a sheepfold.
The Carreg Samson is a so-called Scheduled Monument.
