Tinkinswood Chambered Tomb This has the largest capstone in Wales. 50 people found buried however later renovations established that some bones were missing which led to the conclusion that bodies were laid to rest and then possibly dug up and brought out for ritual purposes. I enjoy this explanation and it sits well in a wider sense as other cultures did (and some still do) esurrect\ the bones of ancestors for ritual ceremonies. The site has a neolithic Burial Chamber with a later Bronze Age Burial pit next to the capstone chamber. I love the fact that it was used and respected across a timeline and I'm also assuming here that there was a rough lineage between the users of the site

Great to learn something about local history.. and its older than stone henge. Not much to see here but it's set in beautiful backdrop scenery so a picnic is a great addition. Can walk a little further and go to Wenvoe burial chambers also, well worth a visit.
A short walk from the road, enough parking spaces for 5 cars. Site is free to enter and is just amazing to see.
An incredibly substantial monument that is a truly awe inspiring testimony to neolithic people's resourcefulness and determination. Also fascinating bronze age elements. A tranquil place too, where one can really relax and reflect.
Love it here
