| CPAT Report No. 1126 The Neolithic Chambered
Tombs of Breconshire Little Lodge Grid reference: SO 1822 3806 Access: Private land with no public access: permission may be sought from Little Lodge farm Excavations: Vulliamy 1929 PRN: 512 The Little Lodge tomb, near Three Cocks, was first described and is still best known from excavations by Vulliamy in 1929, which revealed a major chamber complex just south of the mound's centre, with a contiguous pair of small chambers in the south end. The main chamber contained many unburnt human bones, representing one youth and four adults, mostly male. The site is extensively robbed, and the mound survives to a maximum height of only 1.8m, with a number of large, upright slabs exposed, giving some impression of the chambers. The surrounding mound forms a broad platform 55.5m long north to south, with a maximum width of 22m, although this has clearly been truncated by ploughing (RCAHMW 1997, 51-3; Vulliamy 1929). |
