St Lythans Burial Chamber is a Neolithic tomb located in a field on the outskirts of Cardiff. It was originally covered by an earthen mound some 90 feet (27 m) in length. These days, only traces of this exterior remain, leaving its huge internal stones exposed. The chamber has never been excavated, so its contents remain a mystery.

The St Lythans burial chamber (Welsh: Siambr Gladdu Llwyneliddon) is a single stone megalithic dolmen, built around 4,000 BC as part of a chambered long barrow, during the mid Neolithic period, in what is now known as the Vale of Glamorgan.
It lies about half a mile (1 km) to the west of the hamlet of St Lythans, near Dyffryn Gardens.
The site is on pasture land, but pedestrian access is allowed and is free.
