Situated along the Taith Ardudwy thre is a cluster of cairns lying on either side of this ancient trackway. Five are credited by the OS, however there may be more. This is also the site of a hut circle according to Coflein.
Heading north east the first three cairns are on either side of the track, i.e two to your right and one on the left. They each have a diameter of 4/5m and the stone interiors are raised. 30m further along the track there is another small cairn to your left and a larger, and already posted on MP, cairn to the right.
This is an atmospheric landscape with cairns and hut circles in abundance
