A cluster of at least 30 cairns scattered along the summit and southern slope of Bancbryn. The cairns vary in size and form. Many have been partially excavated although there is no record of what was found. This cairn cemetery forms part of an extensive upland prehistoric ritual landscape and is a scheduled ancient monument.
