Pen Garn Goy possible Bronze Age Barrow
Pen Garn Goy possible Bronze Age Barrow submitted by geoffstickland : The situation is confused by the unrecorded existence of this "cairn like" item nearby. It has all the appearances of a Bronze Age Cairn but may be nothing more than a modern clearance heap. Just perhaps this is the original Pen Garn Goy? (Vote or comment on this photo)
Possible Cairn in Powys. This suggested site is not shown on the OS 1:25 map or recorded in Coflein. Other sites (eg Achwilio) list it but express doubt about its validity. A turf covered knoll about 50' across and 5' high. Maybe simply a natural feature or may be an enhanced natural feature.
