Parc-y-Cromlech
The Wedge Tomb Parc-y-Cromlech (also Penrhiw Dolmen or Penrhiw called) is located northwest of Goodwick in Fishguard in Pembrokeshire in Wales . Wedge Tombs ( German "wedge tombs" ), formerly "wedge-shaped gallery grave" called, are seamless, mostly unarticulated megaliths of the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age to the British Isles .
The remains of the Neolithic Wedge Tombs, of which there are only about 20 in Cornwall and Wales, but 50 in the Isles of Scilly and currently 569 in Ireland , are noteworthy despite the low height characteristic of the type. At Parc-y-Cromlech, a large capstone still rests on three supporting stones.
