Pentre Ifan
A burial chamber whose 16-tonne capstone still balances on three uprights, looking out over the Preseli Hills where Stonehenge’s bluestones were quarried.Siambr gladdu y mae ei maen capan 16 tunnell yn dal i gydbwyso ar dair carreg, gan edrych dros y Preseli lle chwarelwyd cerrig gleision Côr y Cewri.
Pentre Ifan was built around 3500 BC as a communal tomb. The earth or stone mound that once covered it has gone, leaving the great capstone balanced on its pointed uprights.
It is in the care of Cadw and free to visit, with views towards Carn Ingli and the sea.
Codwyd Pentre Ifan tua 3500 CC fel beddrod cymunedol. Mae’r domen a’i gorchuddiai wedi diflannu, gan adael y maen capan mawr yn cydbwyso ar ei feini.
Mae yng ngofal Cadw ac am ddim i ymweld ag ef, gyda golygfeydd tuag at Garn Ingli a’r môr.
