Neolithic Cromlech on Fferm Penrhiw

This neolithic monument stands in a field on Fferm Penrhiw in Goodwick – Pembrokeshire, Wales.

A report from 1925 says: “On the field known as Parc y gromlech, next to Penrhiw farm-house stands a cromlech, the chamber of which is now filled with field gathered stones. The capstone has been overthrown and lies at the feet of its quondam supporters”.

The following information is provided from ‘A reassessment of the Neolithic Chambered Tombs of South-West Wales (Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire)’ by Christopher Thompson Barker:
The remnants of this burial chamber stand in an arable field, close to a small rock outcrop and some 600m W of the Carn Wen ‘cemetery’ . The capstone, which was still displaced when the chamber was planned by Grimes (1936b,fig 28), has now been re-erected upon the three surviving supporters. The little that remains of an enclosing mound is being rapidly dispersed by careless ploughing. – https://theses.gla.ac.uk/78041/1/11007320.pdf
