Cwm Cadlan 2
Cwm Cadlan 2 submitted by coin : An impressive 26m wide ring cairn, the SW most cairn in the Cwm Cadlan Cemetery. There is a stone at the centre of the circle, perhaps part of a cist. The site is just a short walk from the road, and can be seen best from the ridge to the SE. (Vote or comment on this photo)
