According to Coflein this monument ( Round barrow ) was recorded during aerial reconnaissance and stands in cleared forestry. I am convinced the Coflein entry is wrong and is referring to a site to the south east. The monument at this grid reference is a low, spread out mound and third in altitude in this particular enclosure and overlooked by Crug Melyn and Crug Canol. Old maps show the mound sitting between Crug canol and Crug Bach but leave it unnamed. It has a slight dent in its summit.
