Pentre Ifan Dolmen

September - Dad

A 5000 year old dolmen in Wales.
This burial chamber is in the Nevern Valley, Pembrokeshire, inland from Newport. It was built around 3500 BC and the capstone, poised on the tips of 3 vertical stones, weighs approx 16 tons. It looks a simple structure in the photo but it is mightily impressive... how was it built?
