Gorsedd Bran

Barrow Cemetery in Denbighshire (Sir Ddinbych)
On my first trip up here I was looking for the eastern pair, couldn't find them, so this time I concentrated on the very highest pair of barrows, the trig point being on top of one of them I thought it would be easy to find, it wasn't.

After locating the top, I barged into the trees, then after many scratches and scrapes I came out into the clearing and there it was. It is not easy to find. The barrow is in good condition apart from the trig point on its top. The other neighbouring barrow has a clearing of its own too but its either gone or so slight as to disappear under the copious covering of heather and mosses.
This would be such a good place if not for the blasted forestry commission, even if they all came down tomorrow it would still be ruined, I've seen the devastation the felling can cause, so this is as good as it gets, in this lifetime.
