Bachgen Carreg
Bachgen Carreg submitted by sem : Looking east. To the NE would be a good view of the Brecon Beacons, if it wasn't blocked by the trees. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cairn in West Glamorgan

A denuded cairn approx 8m in diameter, it sits on a parish boundary.
The forestry restricts what would be a good view of the Brecon Beacons.
