There are three cairns, the modern walkers cairn that has the best view of the mountains is right on the highest part. But the two ancient cairns are on the north west side of the summit looking down to the sea and Angelsey. The big cairn is very impressive, it has a flat top and a large foot print. Just meters away is a little kerb cairn, also reconstructed. Barely two feet tall and from most angles it melts seamlessly into the background of weather bashed rubble.
A very long way from the car, but easy to find and in the best scenery in Wales, if a little windy at times.
