Cae'r-Eglwys Long Cairn submitted by sem : Looking from Nash Point Promontary Fort, the cairn is directly behind the two walkers - under the gorse. Nash Point lighthouse is in the background. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Coflein NPRN24456. They describe it as an oval, stoney mound 50mx18m, narrowing to 8m at the western end. Possibly a Neolithic long cairn that has been mutilated by the digging of a narrow trench around it's perimeter - maybe to rob a revetment.

Cae'r-Eglwys Long Cairn submitted by sem : From closer to the cairn you can just make out a possible ditch and bank, although RCAHMW think it more likely to be a ditch caused by the robbing of a revetment.
