Barclodiad y Gawres is a Neolithic burial chamber that overlooks Porth Trecastell (Cable Bay). It's an example of a cruciform passage burial chamber and is renowned for its decorative stones; all with spirals, chevrons and zig-zags carved into them. It's one of two chambers on Anglesey that have been reconstructed and covered with their original mounds, the other is Bryn Celli Ddu.
