Parking: Drive north straight past Castell y Bere, a couple of gates need to be opened and closed, just drive as far as you can then the long up hill walk west begins. The dishevelled cairn is next to a wall made from the cairn, no doubt. The natural ground surface has been exposed in the central scoop. A bit misty in the south on my trip, but the early morning sun shone upon it and everything seemed to be gleaming and gorgeous.
