Round Cairn in Gwynedd. Situated on the leading lower edge of the NW summit of Moel Y Ci, the cairn is easily accessed via well established footpaths. Moel Y Ci is an enclosed moorland environment. The cairn is circular with a diameter of 14m and raised to about 1m. A walkers shelter has been constructed within the cairn from the available stones and a concrete pillar has been erected at it's centre.
There are commanding views of the environment and towards the coast and Anglesey.
Note: Snow!
