Ffynnon Mary Cairn
Ffynnon Mary Cairn submitted by geoffstickland : Ffynnon Mary Cairn (Vote or comment on this photo)
A small remnant of a cairn, about 9' in diameter and 1' high, consisting of scattered stones in the grass.

This cairn is recorded on the OS map and in some reliable sources, but no period has been ascribed to it.

Similarly recorded are the following undated antiquities, both within a few yards of the cairn and having the same names:

Ffynnon Mary Burnt Mound at SN98246018, an elongated mound, measuring 35' x30' and about 3' high

Ffynnon Mary Spring at SN9821460201, the source of a small stream, now overgrown with reeds.

Ffynnon Mary suggests the Medieval period?
