Cairn in Conwy
There is no footpath to this cairn circle, sorry, you have to climb over the fence, do so in the corner, it's easier.
It's not easy to find, not at all, this was my second attempt.
It is right next to an occasional stream, it blends into the grassy surroundings almost seamlessly
I must have walked by with in feet of it half a dozen times.
A half buried doughnut, with some stones poking through on the edge, perhaps being kerb stones.
Barely a mile south the 1:25000 map states quite categorically that there is another cairn circle, it is gone, flattened in 1951, nothing remains, don't go, unless you like empty fields.
