Cerrig y Gof (also Cerrig Atgof, ( German "rock of the blacksmith" ) called) is a megalithic complex east of Fishguard in Pembrokeshire in Wales .
It is placed next to the Nevern, a small river that flows north to Newport Bay and the headland Dinas Island , which is served by the Pembrokeshire Coast Path . Two kilometers to the east is the tomb Carreg Coetan Arthur portal and a little further on is the Berry Hill Fort . Ancient descriptions speak of a number of menhirs that stood around the complex.
Cerrig y Gof consists of five individual chambers arranged in a ring. This form of multiple chambers is unique in Pembrokeshire. The only counterpart has Cerrig y Gof in the facility of Mull Hill on the Isle of Man , where six chambers are arranged in a circle.
Two of the chambers are relatively well preserved. Two more still have a number of side stones. The best preserved chamber is in the east and still has its capstone. Your access, through a low portal, is in the south. The chambers once located within the shared Cairns were excavated in 1810. The excavator discovered pottery, bones, sea pebbles and layers of charcoal. The proximity of the Bronze Age ironworks and the Carningli Hillfort , which may have been a Bronze Age fort , meant that Cerrig y Gof was also dated to the Bronze Age .
Cerrig y Gof is a Scheduled Monument .
