Two heavily ploughed out barrows on the summit of Moel Maen Efa, one topped by the trig point.
The highest barrow shows signs of having been dug in places, with large square sods & turf loose around the already considerably denuded summit. Metal detectors used irresponsibly?
Access from nearby footpaths, with spectacular views over the Vale of Clwyd, the Wirral, and even Liverpool City Centre.
A large cross to the west is made of two railway sleepers oozing tar, leaning to the east. Nothing of antiquity is obvious about the feature.
