Gorllwyn
Gorllwyn submitted by cerrig : The possible recumbent, with two of the three cairns beyond, the other one is over the brow. Looking North East. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Three very disturbed cairns, and a possible recumbent stone, set on an exposed high ridge, in the middle of a peat bog .

Long distance Panoramic views all around, making the arduous walk in worthwhile, but come on a nice day, and come prepared. There are no short cuts to this site.
