Round Barrows in Powys
Situated on a flood plain for the Afon Dulas and Afon Dyfi these denuded round barrows no longer stand out as a pair. I was only able to recognise the typical shape of one barrow. They occupy a pastoral field that they currently share with sheep. Coflein has recorded the pair as NPRN 409382.
The barrow that I visited has a diameter of 15m+ and it's raised to about 0.5m above the natural lie of the field. Sadly I failed to spot its mate.
