**Cadair Berwyn** submitted by postman : The two cairns surmounting the summit are numbered one and two; two is left , one is right. Oh what a beautiful morning. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Hilltop Cairn at the same height as Moel Sych to the south, 827 meters. Grass covered mound with a trig point on top.

Apparently not as high as its nearest neighbour despite the trig point, there may be only 3 feet in it.
