Cairn North of Nant Helygog

Cairn in Gwynedd

The cairn is situated on high marsh land to the south east of a forest. This is one of several cairns in the area. However, the area is very overgrown with heather, moss and marsh grass, wet under foot and it is difficult to reach.

The cairn is positioned within a marshy area between two raised outcrops. It is raised to about 0.3m and is 7m in diameter.

This is a scenic environment and well worth the effort to get there.
