BARCLODIAD-Y-GAWRES Burial Mound

Some pictures of my vist to the BARCLODIAD-Y-GAWRES Burial Mound in Wales. This place is very old, built around the same time as the pyramids of ancient Egypt and the stone circles at Stonehenge. It is a burial place built for the ancient famer folk that lived in the area and was built without the use of metal tools.

I thought it was a facinating place, and i hope you guys enjoy the pictures.
