Scarred capstone from Parc Y Llyn

The chamber grave of Parc Y Llyn (also called Parc-Y-Llyn , Carn Tarn or Ffynnonau ) is located at the confluence of the Afon Anghof in the River Cleddau north of the hamlet of Rinaston, near Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire in Wales .

The monument, cut through by a field border, consists of the remains of a chamber grave, which probably dates from the Neolithic Age (4400 to 2900 BC). It consists of a small capstone, which is supported by four posts that are on a small cairn in which many large stones lie. Only the northwest end is preserved. The chamber measures approximately 2.4 x 2.2 m and is up to 0.9 m high.

A second chamber is possibly in the field border in the east.

Parc Y Llyn is a Scheduled Monument .
