Carn Caca Cairn
Carn Caca Cairn submitted by sem : Caca cairn seems intact but is difficult to find (and photograph) in the vegetation. The "lumps" in the background are the result of medieval quarrying and the flat stone roughly marks the robbed cist. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ring Cairn in West Glamorgan

Though difficult to find (and photograph) because of the vegetation, this ring cairn seems remarkably intact. It reminded me of of nearby Carn Llechart except that it has a stone lined earth-ring embankment, evidence that there was never an earth mound here.
Expect a hard climb to find it.
