Coed Bron Fawr
Coed Bron Fawr submitted by Postman : The forest warfare barrow cannily camouflaged as nothing in particular. He has a friend you know, though the other barrow is so low and knackered that it's not even a sure barrow, it's also fairly unphotographable, so no photos. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Barrow Cemetery in Flintshire

Coflein says: The larger of a pair of barrows, 23m NW-SE - 26m in diameter and 3.0m high, truncated by a modern field boundary on the SE. Upon opening, in 1908, the mound revealed a central collection of calcined human and animal bones, a possibly secondary in-urned cremation and a further deposit of animal bones and sherds.
And:
The lesser of a pair of barrows (see also Nprn306938), greatly mutilated, 16-17m in diameter and c.1.0m high. A NW-SE trench has been driven through the mound

Wow thought I, three metres high, I'm off.
