Two barrows on Black Mixen. Black Mixen I is by the transmitter. It has been damaged either by erosion or the placement of a triangulation pillar on it.
Black Mixen II is a low barrow about 1km to the north-west of the transmitter. It is in the Mynydd Ffoesidoes, a Wildlife Trust nature reserve and very difficult to approach.
To the west of Barrow II is the Cross Dyke, date unknown but assumed to be early mediaeval.
