PAB visited on 23rd Jul 2011 Visited on 23rd July while on a 'field visit' walk organised by the South Wales Geologists' Association, led by Alan Bowring.
We got to this towards the end of a 9 mile circular walk, but it could be reached fairly easily without doing all that - we started from car park next to playground in Ystradowen SN752124. The area around the hillock on which the cairn sits was (and probably is normally) very boggy.
0.3m high really represents little more than a single layer, so the cairn is not readily identifiable as anything significant, and could easily be missed.
