Description
A burial chamber at Tre Wallter Llwyd consists of a capstone, 11' by 10' and 3' thick, that appears to have collapsed upon its supporting orthostatic stones and is partially incorporated into a modern hedge. The site has recently (1966) been viewed as dubious because of the apparent inadequacy of the suggested supporting stones. However antiquarian observations (Fenton 1810) recorded stones and a possible cist that are no longer apparent.

Described in Barker, C.T., 1992, The Chambered Tombs of South-West Wales, Oxbow Monograph 14, site 37, p.45. Barker notes that the OS field officer provided an 'unnecessarily harsh assessment' and that antiquarian descriptions of the site are quite comprehensive.
