Cefn-y-Gader cairn 1
Cefn-y-Gader cairn 1 submitted by postman : Cefn-y-Gader's slightly scooped summit (Vote or comment on this photo)
This is also the only decent cairn on the hillside, all the others are grassy heather covered mounds but this one is still stoney and large. No sign of a cist, but in places around the cairn are slight hints of kerbing. Why they didn't build it on top of the hill I don't know, much wider views would be had if they had, instead its kind of hidden away looking into the hills. The nearby Cefn y Cist can be seen on the skyline to the south south east, despite its name no cist is visible.

Park by the roadside Cefn y Gader and walk across the heather covered moor, in a south southeast direction, hopefully following the border between Denbighshire and Wrexhamshire . Just make for the top of the gentle hill and once at the top you'll spot the cairn on the other side.
