Round Barrow in Powys
It's visible from a gateway at the side of the road that runs up the east side of the Wye from Boughrood (aka Bochrwd), towards Llansteffan. It's a little more impressive when seen from the west side of the field within which it lies. I fear it has been almost ploughed out, but if not, then it's more exciting than it looks. Low though it is, there's no sign of hollowing, or excavation.
