Llwydnant Cairn II
Llwydnant Cairn II submitted by geoffstickland : Interestingly, there is another pile of stones shown in this picture just beyond our cairn which has all the signs of being a cairn - a more or less circular pile of collapsed stones with a hollow in the middle. However, I am not qualified to declare it "Llwydnant Cairn III"! (Vote or comment on this photo)
A Bronze Age Round Barrow on a NW facing slope below the mountain top. It is about 15 feet across and about 2 feet high at its highest point. There is a distinct hollow in the centre and traces of a kerb at the S side. It seems that the site has been robbed or possibly reshaped.
