Maen Chwyf is a Neolithic chambered tomb located on Anglesey in Wales, dating to the Neolithic period. The monument comprises a megalithic structure characteristic of the passage grave tradition found across Wales and the wider Atlantic seaboard during the fourth millennium BCE. The tomb's physical form consists of stone chambers constructed from substantial orthostatic slabs, which would have served both ritual and funerary purposes for Neolithic communities. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, Maen Chwyf represents an important survival of prehistoric monumental architecture and provides evidence of the burial practices and ceremonial activities of early agricultural societies in Wales.
