Mathri Burlal Chamber is in Mathri, Pembrokeshire, Prehistoric Wales Neolithic Burials.
Archaeologia Cambrensis 1872 Pages 81-143. In Mathri (martyrs) parish are the remains of a large chamber [Mathri Burlal Chamber [Map]], consisting of a capstone 13 ft. long by 8 broad, resting on one low supporter, the whole partially buried in the hedge. This apparently is the one mentioned by Fenton, who gives the length 14 ft.; and states that it was supported by stones 4 ft. high on one side, and scarcely 3 on the other. He speaks also of a cistvaen at one end, which had lost one side and its cover. This may have been a small secondary chamber. Another cromlech, according to the Ordnance Map, ought to be near it; but no traces of it are now remaining, and it is to be recretted that Fenton does not even allude to it.
