  Carreg
Samson is a splendid example of a Neolithic
(new stone age) burial chamber.
 The
Neolithic heralded the earliest farmers in Wales. The
tomb enjoys a stunning coastal position and commands
views of the Preseli’s and ancient volcanic outcrops
on Strumble Head.
  Parc
le Breos Cwm Burial Chamber - This site is
set in a small hollow surrounded by earlier Palaeolithic
(Old Stone Age) cave locales and later industrial evidence.
 The
tomb itself is a reconstruction of a Cotswold-Severn
typology, and is dated to the Neolithic. This type of
monument is of a very definite shape and construction
and many other monuments of this style are found in
south Wales and central England.
  Pentre
Ifan - This site is a flagship Neolithic burial
monument. This famous burial monument is located inland
and has a limited view towards the sea and Nevern valley.
 Carn
Ingli (a very early, rocky, Hillfort) towers above the
monument adding to the splendour of the site.
  Llanwnda
Burial Chamber - The village of Llanwnda houses
two sites of commemorative archaeology. The earliest
being a Neolithic earthfast tomb on the Carn Wnda outcrop
from which the capstone was reputedly hewn form the
outcrop.
 Later
commemorative stones can be found at the Church of St
Gwyndaf in the centre of the little village. The church
walls are home to several very fine early Christian
inscribed stones.
