**Hafoty-Fach cairns** submitted by Postman : Looking down from Tyrrau Mawr (Vote or comment on this photo)

Round Cairns in Gwynedd. Three round cairns in a row. The grid ref is for the big one right next to the road, and it's right next to Hafoty-fach standing stones.

Funny how someone has been to the stones but not to this big round cairn, they must have walked right by it.
The other two round cairns are a couple of fields away, but still in a neat row with the road side one. But these two aren't in as good condition as the other one, the north eastern cairn has been seriously robbed of cairn material, but there's s still enough to see that it would have been a whopper, the other cairn is completely robbed, leaving a green circle to show its position, just a few stones poke through on its northern end. looking down from Tyrrau Mawr is the perfect way to appreciate these three cairns, and the whole area. It is very beautiful.
