Bodowyr is a Neolithic passage grave on the island of Anglesey, Wales, located near Bodowyr Farm east of Llangaffo. Built between roughly 4000 and 2000 BC, it features a massive mushroom-shaped capstone originally supported by four tall standing stones, with a fifth shorter stone marking the entrance. The tomb was once covered by an earth mound and likely served as a communal burial site for early farming communities. It has never been excavated, so its contents remain unknown. The site is managed by Cadw, the Welsh heritage organisation.
