I was actually on my way somewhere else when I spotted this round cairn on the map it was so close to the road that I didn't even change out of my slippers. The cairn is about two meters high, and well over twenty across. When I first saw it at the field gate I whooped at it in splendid surprise, i wasn't expecting it to be so big. There are four largish boulders hugging the north western arc but whether they are field clearance or kerbing I couldn't say. Castle hill to the east and Gwastedyn hill to the south create a pleasing backdrop to the cairn.
