Garn Wen (Maescar)
Garn Wen (Maescar) submitted by geoffstickland : Photographed in August, the cairn is covered in rough vegetation and appears as a rough.over-grown mound about 30' across and 2/3 high. It is good to see that The Army do what they can to protect ancient sites on the Epynt Military Training Ground. (Vote or comment on this photo)
