This Neolithic tomb is one of the best-preserved burial chambers in the Nevern Valley. Excavations here have unearthed pottery, tools and bones that are around 3,000 years old. The large capstone would have sat on four upright stones at one time. However, these days, only two upright stones stand (don’t worry, it’s sturdy). According to legend, King Arthur played here as a child.
