Situated near the summit of Manod Mawr is a circular structure, Coflein NPRN 537245. This is one of several dry stone structures close to the summit, and at 4.5m in diameter by 1m high it is also the largest. Considered a modern construct, it appears to have a concrete base for a flag pole, it commands a prominent position amongst the other structures. Many of which are much older in date.
This is a rugged landscape with much evidence of past and recent quarrying that has scarred the surface but, with its many trackways, open adits and abandoned buildings it has also provided a wondrous environment for exploration.
