Bodyst Uchaf ring cairn
Bodyst Uchaf ring cairn submitted by SandyG : The ring cairn survives as a low stoney circular bank which is highlighted in this photograph. View from the south west. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ring cairn in Carmarthenshire. Situated on the edge of a spur leading from the northern slopes of Mynydd y Betws. The cairn survives as a low rubble bank surrounding a circular internal area. There are extensive views towards the Black Mountain, West Wales and the Gower peninsula but most interestingly it is only from this precise point that a closed view of the sea in front of the Gower can be seen.

This visual phenomenon is of special interest and may explain why this exact spot was chosen by the cairn builders. The cairn is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
