Round Barrow in Powys

From Rhayader take the B4518 to St Harmon but turn almost immediately left, towards Nantserth and Tynshimley farms, turn right when you get to a crossroads, a road crossing a rough dirt track, follow the track as far as you want, there are plenty of opportunistic parking places. Then walk for about ten minutes the barrow is in the corner of the field past the last house.

About two meters tall and a good twenty odd across, and fair covered in thistles. Moel Hywel at over five hundred meters high dominates the near surroundings. Standing on top of the barrow the south west view opens up as far as Esgair Penygarreg, itself cairn topped, but then all the hills round there are.
