Garreg Lwyd Cairn
Garreg Lwyd Cairn submitted by sem : Looking from the N, the partial destruction and re-modelling of the cairn is obvious. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cairn in Carmarthenshire (Sir Caerfyrddin)

The cairn is about 20m in diameter and stands about 3m high. The southwest area has been remodelled in a tower shape, possibly as a boundary marker.
