GARN TURNE BURIAL CHAMBER

Garn Turne burial chamber looking south west.


Garn Turne burial chamber (SM979272) is located east of Wolfscastle, Dyfed in a rock strewn field. It is in ruin with the original earth mound removed. The giant capstone which covered the chamber has collapsed but is still partly supported by three fallen uprights. Leading up to the entrance to the chamber is a V shaped avenue of large upright stones reducing in size as you move away from the chamber. The stone avenue and burial chamber entrance is orientated in the direction of the midsummer sunrise. South east of the main chamber at a short distance is a solitary menhir.
