Cairn in Gwynedd
On a hill looking over Afon Rhaeadr Fawr, thats Aber falls valley, is this good cairn, good in as its still quite large , its got some kind of cist, but not a rectangular one . (see pic)
But the views are the most enjoyable part, down to the waterfalls, across to Foel Ganol with its cairns and enclosures, and weather permitting over to Anglesey and up to Y Carneddau. Bliss.
