Cairn in Gwyned. Gwynedd Archaeological Trust record GAT 1117 does cast doubt as to whether this is a prehistoric or clearance cairn - see the record for details -

https://archwilio.org.uk/arch/query/page.php?watprn=GAT1117&dbname=gat&tbname=core&sessid=CHI28nkxoh7&queryid=Q942118001601488051




A possible - "Prehistoric cairn on the farm of Maes y Garnedd. The mound is square in shape 60ft by 60ft approx with its corners well rounded. The cairn has been opened to expose a stone built chamber about 8ft square by 4.5ft high"

There is a Coflein reference which has some nice aerial photos.
