Coedcae'r Gwarthog
Coedcae'r Gwarthog submitted by postman : June 2010, a good cloud day. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Four barrows crown a minor hill top north of Cefn Cilsanws ring cairn, two more cairns south of that one too. A very nice place to sit in the sun and spend some time.

It's not strictly speaking on a footpath, but it's not far from one, it is a short walk but it's up hill, but the laws of nature has it all down hill on the way back.
