At the footpath gate, there is an audio device, where you select information relevant to the area and the burial chamber, you just wind the handle, and a voice tells you in English or Welsh, all about your selected subject.
"The burial chamber stands in a field, Maesyfelin (The Mill Field), often shared by a herd of cows, to the south of St Lythans Road, roughly one km (0.62 miles) west of the hamlet of St Lythans. Roadside parking is available, for 2—3 cars, about 50 yards (46 m) from the site, which is maintained by Cadw, the Welsh Historic Environment Agency. Access to the field, which slopes gently downwards towards the north west, is permitted, and is free, via a kissing gate. There is no wheelchair access, although there is an uninterrupted view of the site from the gate, about 50 yards away." Text Source: (
