Presaddfed Chambered Tomb

Presaddfed Chambered Tomb, Beddrod Siambr Presaddfed, is two of a kind: a pair of Neolithic burial chambers standing just two metres apart in a level field near the southern end of Llyn Llywenan, the largest natural lake on Anglesey, a mile north-east of Bodedern. Despite their closeness their alignment leaves no room for a shared passage, which suggests they were built and used in different phases of the Neolithic, probably under one cairn of which nothing remains. The southern tomb is the better preserved, its monumental capstone, more than 4 metres long, still raised on four uprights; the northern chamber has collapsed, one upright standing with two leaning against it and the capstone on the ground. In the early 1800s an evicted family is said to have sheltered in the tombs. There is no designated parking: visitors use a small space at the top of the estate lane and walk 150 metres to a kissing gate, then 100 metres across a muddy, grazed field.
