Trefignath is a small village in Powys, Wales, situated near the town of Oswestry. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and farmland, offering scenic views and walks. The village church, St. Matthew's, dates back to the 13th century and features a unique tower and stained-glass windows. Trefignath is also home to a number of historic buildings, including a 17th-century farmhouse and several old cottages. The village pub, The Red Lion, serves local ales and traditional Welsh cuisine.
It was so nice and easy to get to. There is an area to park, and it's not a very busy road anyway. It can be seen very nicely from outside of the field, but if you are able, there is an easy stile to get into the field.
Unfortunately the area around this beautiful and quiet monument is being bought up by developers. With a (currently) beautiful view and a matching atmosphere, this is a worthy stop on a tour of Holyhead. Equally unfortunately, a person of questionable intelligence decided to camp right by the entrance to the open tomb.
Interesting site, particularly due to the fact that it is opened up and not covered by earth or rocks. There are 3 tombs all in the same site and joined together. The signs explain the history of the place, and it is worthy of a visit, especially if you are a Modern Antiquarian.
Trefignath is worth a stop if you know and appreciate the ancient monuments. There are three separate burial chambers in a row. Archeologists found the remains of 30 women and children in one of them. Remember to always show respect for the monuments, for the age of them being thousands of years old and irreplaceable, and for the people who were buried there. There are also other related monuments nearby and aligned with this one.
Fantastic chambers and I found these really easy to find as well tho I do think there could be more signs up for these monuments. Edited 23rd Oct 2019 General tidy up but this monument didn't need it I am pleased to report.
You'll need your OS map to find this place, as it's no longer on a public highway. Sandwiched between two main roads,, and no signage to help, you ou can walk or cycle down the old road to reach it, stile to access. Three burial chambers in one.
