Mounds Burial
A burial mound is a room that you and your possessions are placed in that is then covered in a mound of dirt. It was believed that you needed items in the afterlife so you were buried with them. I believe that today practice of being buried takes less room than the mound. I think that cremation is the better way to go.

There are many Pre-Celtic burial mounds on Anglesey. Two of the most famous being Bryn Celli Ddu in Llandaniel and the larger Barclodiad y Gawres in Rhosneigr.
With both you can walk into the exposed mound. Modern Pagans visit both these sites, but the greatest shame is that the most precious stones have been taken away to the National museum in Cardiff, more than two hundred miles away.

So are these man made mounds or are they natural small hills that are used as graves?

They are man made. First the grave is made in a dolmen, an arrangement of stones built to protect the body and the items buried with it, then the structure is buried under a barrow mound of earth; it sometimes has a tunnel entrance, sometimes not. After archeological work, all that is left is the stones.

I've been fortunate to visit many of these while living on the Isle of Anglesey. It was actually amazing to see how many of them were preserved so well to this day. Usually there is a gate to the entrance to prevent people from going in and defiling the area.

There are many genuine rituals and gatherings at these sites, but also there are many people that have some very strange ideas about them. I think that trying to invoke some power from these sacred monuments is very wrong, the upmost respect should be show there. Who are we to desecrate the ancient energy that has existed there for thousands of years?

That will be a cool way to be buried that way anyone can look at it from a distance and know that's where you are!
