Bedd Arthur is described as a peculiar stone setting not too far from the stone river under Carn Meini, hengiform, or henge with stone circle. Been described as somewhat similar to a viking boat grave, though this has now been discounted. Also Bedd yr Afanc, or the Grave of the Watery Monster, is long and narrowed shaped, thought to be a gallery grave, but the picture I have with the stones sticking out of the bog is very boatish.... Considering that trading between Ireland and Wales took place, and further trading into the West via sea and rivers, boat shaped graves might have been a possibility...
