Arthur's Chair
 (Maen Ceti)
In Welsh this Neolithic burial chamber is known as Maen Ceti, and one of the seven wonders of ancient Britain was the raising of the stone of Maen Ceti. In fact it became so famous that an invading Breton army detoured by a hundred miles simply to pay homage to this megalith. 
      The stone of Maen Ceti was in fact never raised. The builders of this tomb actually dug under the rock (a huge glacial erratic) and propped it up as they went. There are two chambers to the tomb and a burial cairn exists not more the 100 meters away

Also known as Arthur's Stone, this crudely formed chamber stands on the exposed moorland of Cefn Bryn in the Gower peninsula.  The boulder which forms the capstone is 4 meters long and over 2 meters thick.  It would originally have weighed about 40 tons before a section broke off (right of picture).  The boulder was probably always in this position and was under-pinned by the tomb builders with at least 10 smaller upright blocks, set in the crude form of a chamber.  The cairn around the tomb is circular, approximately 23 meters in diameter.  It is unlikely that the cairn ever completely covered the tomb.  The site has not been excavated.
