Gelli Hill Cairn B submitted by TimPrevett : This is not Gelli Hill circle, but yet more stones which could be mistaken for a ruinous circle, as per the comment on 14th August 2005. The 'real' Gelli Hill circle on a narrow neck of land, lower down more or less at the same level as the large fallen standing stone. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Gelli Hill Cairn B submitted by TimPrevett : Looking west at sunset, across the southern part of the cairn; unfortunately the sun never went to a nice glowing ball, so I have had to tinker a little to bring out more of the picture. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Gelli Hill Cairn B submitted by TimPrevett : Looking north east, this stone appears to mimic the distant hill. Not yet sufficiently familiar with the area to name the hill. (2 comments - Vote or comment on this photo)

Gelli Hill Cairn B submitted by TimPrevett : Looking South West across the cairn, to the ridge where the best access is a given. A footpath is marked on the map to the immediate south of the circle, but plenty of gates have to be opened; make sure they are closed again.

Gelli Hill Cairn B submitted by postman : Strange how this site isn't on the map, or mentioned by Coflein, it certainly isn't at the grid ref given by Mr Traveller or where the map indicates.

The grid ref for this cairn? is wrong Mr Traveller has given the grid ref for a different cairn ENE of this cairn. The true location would be more like SO098584 but its hard to tell as its not on the map or recorded by Coflein, it has been suggested that a farmer made it at some time.
