The megalithic site of Capel Garmon is in farmland southeast of the village of Betws -y -Coed in Merionethshire in Wales. It is a hilly landscape in the rock outcrops occur on days and are wetlands.

The only one kilometer from the Afon (Welsh for river ) Conwy remote plant has been restored. The shape of the ablated Cairns has been marked on the ground. He shows some parallels with the widespread in South Wales Cotswold -Severn tradition. In particular, the T-shaped, with lateral access located in the hills chamber is identical roughly with one of the chambers in the system of Ty Isaf, but the present there false door is missing. The gear and the oval center and side chambers are largely retained. The current entrance leads into the West Chamber. It dates from the 19th century, when the plant was used as a stable. The original entrance is on the south side. Only a great capstone of 4.3 m length was maintained over the western chamber. The plant was bereita robbed when it was excavated in 1925. Found only a flint tee and zerscherbte crockery. A small re-excavation provided information on activities before the establishment of Cairns. These findings include a skull fragment.
