Two round barrows are located on the top of a promontory on the north-west edge of the Radnor Forest. Because of stock fences they are very difficult to get to.
Cwm Bwch III is a separate barrow on the western side of Cwm Bwch, a deep valley. It is near a footpath although a long way from any access point. A fence passes through the barrow.
All overlook the large plain heading up to Newtown, Llandeilo and beyond.
