Other information

Legends / stories attached to this monument. Inscriptions. See who has provided other information.

 

As its name suggests, this is the southern monument of the two long barrows, and it is the stones of this chamber that immediately catch your eye when approaching along the road.

Obviously the same route to the site applies as in the Ffostyll North review, along with the same courtesy as in seeking permission before approaching the monuments. As stated in the Fostyll North review we had no suitable measuring tape at the time so we “step” measured the site.

We make this monument approximately 41 yards long by approximately 27 yards wide. Once again there is only one visible chamber. Apparently as before the sites were excavated around 1923, with a number of human remains being found.
