Digs have been carried out at the site over the last few summers to learn more about its past
An excavation is under way on the site of a suspected 4,500-year-old burial cairn that lies next to one of Wales' most important prehistoric monuments.
Experts are hoping to learn more about it and its relationship to Bryn Celli Ddu Burial Chamber at Anglesey.
The 5,000-year-old "passage tomb" is aligned to coincide with the rising sun on the summer solstice.
Dr Ffion Reynolds said the cairn showed the site remained a "special location" centuries after the chamber was built.
