Barrow Cemetery in Gwynedd
You cant much more in the middle of no where than on a high mountain, but once there, they are a doddle to find, it's just the getting there that could turn out to be a touch problematical.
Coflein says that there are four or maybe five bronze age cairns up there, but there are walkers cairns thrown into the mix just to confuse the tired megalith hunter.
The only cairn we could identify as being definitely ancient is the big one under the trig point. It has some possible kerbing on the north west. A beaker burial was discovered here. I hope you have better weather than we did.
