Pant-y-Saer Burial Chamber

Pant-y-Saer is a Neolithic dolmen near the small town of Benllech in Anglesey, Wales [1]. This burial chamber is partially collapsed with the massive capstone resting on the ground at one end [1]. The remains of fifty-six people who were buried here have been found during excavations [1]. The capstone is large, measuring about 3 m in length and breadth, with a thickness of 0.5 m; it has partially collapsed and rests with one end on the ground and the other end supported by two upright stones, one on the north side and the other on the south [1]. The chamber was originally covered with a cairn or mound, of which traces remain [1]. Excavations show that the cairn was walled at the front and may have been extended for some way at the back [1].
