This is a lovely group of 3 cairns or ancient burial mounds. They are open to the elements on forestry land on the top of Talsarn hill.

A great view on a clear day and birds sing and the road isn't usually too noisy. A great access for people with small children or people that can't walk far.
It has a great feeling there, of sanctuary.
