Waun Llwyd cairn

Fri, 07 Jun 2013 11:48:17 GMT

]]>There does not seem to be any official record of this cairn, so it may be a new find.. Waun Llwyd cairn is a largely ruined and robbed monument. It is found next to an Ancient stream that now runs dry except in very wet weather, quite close to the present day source of the river Usk . It has mostly disappeared except for a few stones protruding through the scrubby vegetation. The central Cist is the only real indication that this is a genuine cairn, as most of the stones have been long robbed, as is the norm in this part of Wales, especially with the lower mountain slopes.
