Rhos Crug I
Round barrow on the summit of Rhos Crug. It is slightly oval in plan, with a length of 17m, width of 15.6m and height of 1.8m. There is a long depression, running for 2.8m E-W in the centre of the mound, suggesting that robbing has taken place. A square hole is also present halfway up the eastern side of the mound. There are no visible indications of a ditch (Cadw, 1998).
Larger and westernmost of a pair of barrows, together with PRN 1110. Sited on local summit with extensive views all around, 17m diam x 1.8m high. Generally well-preserved with flattish summit on which is a linear depression E-W c 3m long x 1m wide x 0.5m deep. A recent square pit 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.4m has been dug in NE side, possibly as a result of metal detector. Possible peat deposits over 100m to N (CPAT, 2001).
Rhos Crug II
Barrow on the summit of Rhos Crug. It has a diameter of 13m and is 1.5m high. An erosion scar 2.8m long runs across the northern edge of the summit. No remains of an encircling ditch (Cadw, 1998).
Smaller and easternmost of a pair of barrows together with PRN 1109. Generally well-preserved but with slight sheep scour on summit. No obvious robbing. Sited on local summit with extensive views all around, 13m diam x 1.6m high, rounded profile. Possible peat deposits over 100m to N (CPAT, 2001)
