Ysbyty Pont Blaen Eidda Cairn

Situated within high pasture and on SE sloping ground the site can be visited by following a narrow farm road that leads from the B4407 towards Blaen Eidda Isaf. Coflein has recorded the site as NPRN 420166.

The cairn is about 4.5m in diameter but it lies low and could be easily overlooked because it is overgrown with grass. However, stones protrude in places suggesting a circular structure. There is some debate as to whether this is the site of a cairn, or that of a hut circle. A survey by G. Smith in 2002 noted that there is no obvious central hollow to suggest a hut rather than a cairn. However, this is a difficult site to interpret. Having visited the site I would err on this being a cairn. It's position would have made it visible from much of the Afon Eidda valley below, quite typical of cairn sites in the area.
