Archaeological Journal Volume 28 1871 Pages 97-108. 19. [Waenfynydd aka Castellor Burial Chamber [Map]] Llechylched par. (w). Fragments of a cromlech on a farm called Waenfynydd. Two stones remain; the cap-stone was broken up some years ago. Rev. Hugh Prichard, Memoir on Castellor, &c., Arch. Cambr., fourth series, vol. ii. p. 53.
Archaeologia Cambrensis 1876 Pages 51-66. Two stones of a cromlech [Waenfynydd aka Castellor Burial Chamber [Map]], the largest of which measures superficially 9 feet by 5½ feet, and is 3 feet thick, are at present the only perceptible antiquities on this field with the exception of the large stone mentioned above. The capstone of the cromlech, 15 feet long, was broken up many years ago. On the second field, separated from the first by a farm wall, seven or eight low circles, with several lines of upright stones, mark the sites of early habitations not fully obliterated, and also of structures, concerning the purpose of which it is vain to speculate.
