Cairn in Gwynedd
This is a pretty good kerb cairn, some stones are gone, some are still contiguous, some are over a foot tall and some are just peeping above the grass. One long stone occupies a central depression, probably from the exhausted cist.
It's a long and laborious walk from the car park at Aber Falls, but the monument is worthy of a bit of exercise. The views would have been very nice, had we not been in low and deep cloud.
Do not believe the map, the cairn is on the west side of the T junction in the forest. Unless the heather gets higher you will be able to spot it, but no body cares for it so the heather will get higher and the stones will disappear.
