**Fan Nedd Cairn** submitted by Energyman : Difficult to get a shot without a balloon! (Vote or comment on this photo)

Cairn in Powys

This cairn is not quite in the same position as marked on the OS map, which is SN91831892 about 50m away. I stood on that spot aided by GPS and couldn't see anything. Moreover, it was set back with no good views. So I am presuming my positioning is more accurate, as there is quite obviously a ruined cairn in the (new) position.
