From Coflein 306588:
Three eccentrically concentric stony rings, each c.2.0m thick, 20m overall diameter, the innermost circle, c.6.0m overall diameter.
Part of what is designated the "Cwm Tywyll ritual complex"
Right on the footpath that goes up to Cadair Berwyn is this ring cairn and other cairns and one or two small possible standing stones.
A fantastic place
