Here we were gratified by the sight of a very perfect chromlech [Bodowyr Burial Chamber [Map]] standing in a field to the N.W.1 of the house. The upper stone terminates in a ridge like the roof of a building and measures seven feet four inches long three feet deep and four wide this is sustained by three supporters No. 7. End View of Bodowyr Cromlech. each three feet in height & nearly the same in thickness. That cromlechs were not always used (if they were at all) as altars for sacrifice I think may be demonstrated by the one before us (as its Pyramidical form is by no means adapted to the purpose. Indeed there is a tradition amongst the Welsh that this rude memorial was erected over the grave of a British princess named Bronwen who flourished in the year of the world 3105 1).
Note 1. Half a mile south-west.
