Cairn in Denbighshire (Sir Ddinbych)
A scoop has been taken from the summit affording a welcome respite from the biting wind.
Some stones poke through the grass in the scoop, the cairn is at least two meters high , maybe three. Covered in heather it is perfectly camouflaged in its surroundings.
Not far from the road, and just a foot from the Offa's dyke path.
