Garn Lwyd
Garn Lwyd submitted by sem : One of the few locations in this area where it is possible to see the valley floor. Maybe the inhabitants of the valley liked the idea of an ancestor watching over them? (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ring Cairn in Mid Glamorgan

Described on Coflein (NPRN 307669) as a possible Ring Cairn "in an uncharacteristic on a steep NE-facing slope."

From it there is a good view of the valley floor, something quite rare in this locality.
