Barclodiad y Gawres

	Diagram of the stones

This is Wales' answer to Ireland's Newgrange tomb. Set on a small peninsula and visible from miles around, Barclodiad y Gawres is a reconstructed chamber tomb whose internal walls were decorated with zig-zags and spirals pecked into the stone. (Some of the stones are covered with algae and appear green.)

The tomb is kept locked and at one time you could obtain the key from a nearby shop, but after an episode of vandalism access is now only by guided tour. In the diagram on the left, which is not to scale and by no means a map, the black stones are the ones I found with decorations.

Unfortunately the decorations don't come out in the RealVideo so you'll just have to take my word that they are there - or, of course, go and see them for yourself.
