Cofleins grid ref is slightly off, mine is closer, I hope.
It took me two tries to find this ring cairn because of inaccurate grid references, but find it I did. It is a good ring cairn, with a south west facing entrance. Best preserved on the south west, the other side has suffered slippage from the adjacent hill side and has been half buried.
It's in a good position to watch the sun go down over Foel Lus, so I did.
