This unassuming Bronze age cairn in Pembrokeshire was excavated in 1928 by W.F. Grimes. Under a 1.5 to 2 ton capstone a stone cist was found which contained a laid out body (with head to the north) of a man aged under 35, and a three riveted bronze knife.
Parking was easy in a layby directly opposite, a short distance east of the drive for Sommerton farm.
