Carn yr Llechwedd
Carn yr Llechwedd submitted by TimPrevett : A cairn above the Roman Road from Canovium to Segontium; the cist mentioned in the main entry is just centre right here. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cairn in Conwy (Bwrdeistref Sirol).
A cairn upon a raised area of ground, within a large natural bowl, to the south of the Roman road descending towards Bangor.

There is a cist visible within the cairn, too, though the foliage obfuscates much of the detail.

No name recorded for the cairn, and nothing suitable nearby on the map, so have named it "cairn of the hillside" for a more memorable name.
