Cairns in Gwynedd. About a mile east of Penmachno amid a profusion of footpaths and low walls is a duo of cairns, both grassed over, one with a cist. One cairn is now all but invisible and undetectable, but the other is a small collection of lumps and bumps, with a cist in it. A good view north west towards Carnedd Moel Siabod.
