A small kerb cairn overlooking the sea.
The remains of a Bronze Age cairn, on top of a Mesolithic camp and flint scatter site. The only excavated mesolithic site in Gwynedd now looks out on the Estuary in front of the Aberffraw Sands. In 7000 BC, this would have been looking out onto a river valler, with sea levels considerably lower.
