Walking past Caer Bach hillfort and hut circle and found what appears to be a chambered tomb. It displays a huge capstone atop three stones leaving a small central area around the same size as the chamber of the nearby Maen-y-bardd. This site appears to have much of the earthen mound still encompassing it.
I welcome the views of others on this - amazed to not find the site marked on Coflein or on this site.
