This quite heavily ruined Neolithic chambered cairn was a vast white limestone covered construction when built. A small earth covered mound is all that remains of it now, but the chamber is surrounded by a protective and padlocked picket gate of sound construction so livestock should not trouble it's remaining structure. Apparently the remains of some 24 people were discovered in this tomb back in the 1750's, and the whole chamber was excavated extensively between 1929 to 1935. This monument is on private land and written permission needs to be obtained to view it, so it is not one for a day out with the kids I am afraid. It can be viewed at a distance from the Plas Newydd house and gardens pathway to the North though. A camera or phone camera with a decent zoom could easily capture a good image of this very interesting structure.
