This shows the positioning of the orthostats (upright stones) of which there are 22 in two parallel lines, somewhat resembling crooked teeth.
The grave's design poses something of a puzzle to archaeologists since it is more akin to Scottish and Irish passage graves that anything else found in Wales.
An excavation in 1930 produced no finds and an attempt to date it botanically was not successful. It retains its mystery!
