**Carn Wen (Garth) Cairn** submitted by geoffstickland : A close up of the cairn showing some recent modifications. (Vote or comment on this photo)

A Bronze Age Cairn set on a south facing mountainside. A large array of loose stones about 25 yards across and 2' high, with recent modifications. There appear to be 3 stone platforms on the east side. It is an impressive landmark.
