Whilst looking at the Arrow Stone recently in Cwm Anafon, Aber, Gwynedd, I discovered a previously undiscovered burnt mound. I have reported to Coflein, and they have confirmed it as a recognised feature. It is registered on Coflein ref. 421813 The mound is about 50 mtrs east of the Arrow stone on the east bank of the River Anafon and can be clearly seen on Google earth. I will submit photos as soon as I can get back there with a decent camera. Gareth
