Carreg Coetan Arthur dates from around 3000 BC and is the remains of a Neolithic burial chamber (also known as a quoit).

The remains consist of a 4-metre-long capstone on smaller supporting rocks. It would have originally been earth covered, but this has eroded away.

The site is managed by Cadw and it is a scheduled ancient monument.{{Watprn|coflein|304320}}. {{Watprn|DAT|1462}}. Cadw SAM: PE056: Carreg Coetan Burial Chamber
