Nant Esgeiriau
Nant Esgeiriau submitted by Postman : On a bit of a zoom from Pennant cairn to the north east (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cairn on moorland to the west of the Berwyn Peaks, south west of Pennant cairn.

The round cairn has been defiled by some past farmer, turning half of it into a sheepfold. However the cist and it's cover seem intact.

And if i'm not mistaken really close to the site of the Berwyn UFO incident.
