**Blaengwynolwyn Uchaf 1, 2, 3** submitted by geoffstickland : The Western most of the three cairns, close to a major track up the mountain. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Three small, ruined Bronze Age cairns in a straight line W to E on the lower slopes of Garth Mountain on the SE limit of the Cambrian Mountains.

Cairn 1 at SN9808859916
Cairn 2 at SN9810859941
Cairn 3 at SN9812859963
These cairns are marked on the OS map, but no source I can find names them. Therefore, I have named them after the nearest named feature, Blaengwynolwyn Farm and added the suffix Isaf, lower, to distinguish it from another cairn nearby.
