Chambered Cairn in Denbighshire (Sir Ddinbych). This monument is reported as a Neolithic chambered cairn although damage through robbing or excavation and the undergrowth of the surrounding pine forest makes it difficult to appreciate.

Re: Craig yr Arian at risk by Anonymous on Wednesday, 24 May 2006
Cadw note: This site was visited last month in order to consider it for scheduling and to speak to the forestry company. The site is not considered to represent the remains of a chambered tomb - it is more likely to represent the remains of an extremely damaged round cairn. The OS card reads (from a field visit in 1974) "thought to have been a round cairn, 20-25m in diameter, with a central megalithic chamber, the present form of the monument, a sub-rectangular drystone enclosure, c.10m square and 2.0m high, is thought to result from systematic treasure hunting/excavation. The mound survives to 0.8m high and a possible capstone, 2.5m by 1.5m crowns the rubble fill of the enclosure" (source OS SJ03NW6).

The site does not meet the criteria for scheduling as a monument of national importance - but the forestry company are aware of the site and will endeavour to take care during operations nearby.
