The Beacon (Powys) submitted by geoffstickland : We suspect that the cairn has been "augmented" recently, it looks remarkably fresh (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ring Cairn in Powys

From Coflein: "A 17m overall diameter circle of earth and stones upon a rocky knoll, formed by a bank 4.0m wide to the N, elsewhere by scarps. Stones are said to have been brought here 'for luck' and a 4.0m diameter stony area surrounds the Os triangulation pillar within."
