PBertson visited on 4th Jun 2023 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 2 A superb location with views of the Black Mountains, the Eastern end of the South Wales valleys across to Merthyr and the tops of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons). Best visited in a spell of dry weather as the terrain can be very boggy in places.

A barrow cemetery consisting of approximately nine barrows and cairns, all clustered around the summit of Mynydd Pen-cyrn.

There is a possible nearby stone circle and avenue, as well as other barrows and cairns north and west of the summit.
