Bodowyr Burial Chamber

Bodowyr Burial Chamber is the surviving central chamber of a Neolithic passage tomb on the southeastern tip of Anglesey, Wales, located on open farmland near Brynsiencyn. Passage tombs of this type are most closely associated with Ireland, making Bodowyr's presence on Anglesey a marker of significant prehistoric connectivity across the Irish Sea, likely dating to around 4000–3000 BCE. The site is a scheduled ancient monument, protected under UK law. There are no facilities or signage beyond the monument itself — just a capstone resting on uprights in a quiet Welsh field, which gives the site an unmediated atmosphere rare among prehistoric remains.
