Round Cairn in Denbighshire. The cairn is situated on a rise below Moel Y Waun. It lies along a modest mountain ridge popular with walkers. A boundary fence dissects the cairn and the footpath travels close by. Without prior knowledge of its location I would have walked by.
It's not an impressive cairn to view but it's purpose and position marks it as significant.
I measured it as being 8m in diameter and 1m high.
There are commanding views of the environment.
