The Cors-y-Gedol burial chamber which still has it’s capstone intact is also referred to as Arthur’s Quoit and can be found close to some ancient hut circles known as the Irishmen’s huts on the slope of Moelfre.

Chambered tomb with prehistoric settlements and trackways in the area, reminding us of our Neolithic past. Set off the slopes of Moelfre with the giant capstone pointing towards the peak of Moelfre held up by a single standing stone. Very peaceful place.
