Cefnamwlch
Cefnamwlch (also called Coetan Arthur) is a portal tomb in a Rundcairn about 1.5 km from Tudweiliog , on the flank of Mynydd Cefnamwlch on the Lleyn Peninsula in Gwynedd in Wales .
The Tomb portal has a large capstone, 3.1 m long and 2.6 m wide, supported by three supporting stones. The underside of the capstone is flat and almost horizontal, 1.2 m above the ground. The southwest was possibly closed by a fourth stone. The Portal Tomb consists of the remains of a round cairn from the Neolithic or Bronze Age . Another large stone slab lies north of the chamber.
On the west side of Foel Meyllteyrn are quarries and urn burials from the Early Bronze Age, and in the cemetery of St. Peter's, Meyllteyrn, there is a menhir .
