These two ring cairns can be found between the fallen menhir Careg llwyd and the big cairn Tyr Gwyn Mawr. Both rings are in danger of being swallowed up by the thick reedy grass, only the biggest stones of the cairns outer rim give away their position.
They remind me a bit of the Triple cairn on Ravens Tor in the Peak district only with more grass and much more whooshing sounds from the wind turbines.
