Presaddfed Burial Chamber

Presaddfed Burial Chamber is a scheduled ancient monument a short distance northwest of Bodedern in Anglesey, north Wales, comprising two Neolithic chamber tombs [1]. The southern tomb is the more complete; it has a capstone some 4 by 3 m, supported by three stout upright stones at the south end and by a single more slender stone at the north [1]. The northern tomb is considerably damaged with two remaining uprights at the north end; the capstone has fallen and is leaning against them [1]. During the eighteenth century, when this site was first recorded, the northern tomb was already in a state of disrepair [1]. Presaddfed was described by Richard Gough in his 1798 version of William Camden's topographical survey Britannia [1]. Early reports suggest quantities of cairn material surrounded the cromlechs, which is no longer evident, so may have been removed in the nineteenth century [1].
