Clap Yr Arian
Clap Yr Arian submitted by TimPrevett : A composite of the cairn, 'Silver Lump'! The cairn is over 30 feet in diameter, and has some kerb stones remaining on its north western side. A large hollow shows a robbed out centre. The cairn is easily visited when visiting Maen Serth, and then on to Maengwyngweddew. If you look to the centre horizon in this picture, Maen Serth can just be made out. (Vote or comment on this photo)
