A Bronze Age funerary platform cairn about 30' wide by about 18" high, with a modern marker cairn on top. High on the Cambrian Mountains and now surrounded by modern commercial forestry. It would have been prominent and commanded far-reaching views.
This cairn is important in that it offers insight into burial practices at that time.
