This seems to be a duplicate, albeit more comprehensive, of site 5183 (which may be correctly named???).

Garn Goch, Chambered Tomb in Powys, SO212177

The remains of a roughly circular mound, once covered with large trees lies inside a children’s playground, just beside a little housing estate across the river Usk from Crickhowell. Most of these big trees are now just stumps. A moderately sized capstone to a chamber can be seen towards the eastern side.

I have to say my knowledge of the Welsh language is not much better than zero, but the spelling of some of these places seems at times to be very variable. Is this Carn Coch, Carn Goch, Garn Goch, Garn Coch or what ? Everywhere I look it seems different.
