Lligwy Burial Chamber Lligwy burial chamber is around 5,000 years old and dates to the Neolithic period or New Stone Age. It consists of eight low uprights supporting a massive capstone, some 5.5 metres by 4.6 metres. This great capstone is about 1.5 metres above the bottom of a natural fissure in the limestone rock, and the supporting uprights sit on the rock at the edge of the fissure or on rough stone walling. The way the capstone, which weighs some 25 tons sits so low over a pit gives the tomb a very unusual, squat appearance. Excavations at this tomb in 1908 revealed the bones of between 15 and 30 individuals – men, women and children. Animal bones and shells were also found, together with flint implements, a bone pin and pottery.
