Cairn in Conwy (Bwrdeistref Sirol)

Third highest mountain in Wales and a cairn graces its summit. This could possibly be the highest cairn in Britain, its certainly the highest bronze age cemetery in Britain. Almost everything about this place is awesome, the cairn could be better but with views like this who cares.
