About this place
Dating to around 3000 BC, Bryn Celli Ddu is a Neolithic passage tomb on the Isle of Anglesey in north Wales.
It ranks among the best-preserved prehistoric burial chambers in Wales, with a stone-lined passage leading to a central chamber beneath a reconstructed mound.
Cadw manages the site and entry is free to all visitors.
At the summer solstice, the rising sun shines directly along the passage and illuminates the chamber interior.
