Cairns in Powys

Perthi Common is a large, undulating area on the west of the village of Llansantfaed in Elwel. It is heavily infested with bracken and gorse and is quite hard to explore in search of the four cairns listed in Coflein. When one does manage to find them they are rather "unrewarding" with little to distinguish them from the surrounding undergrowth. It is only the precision of a ten figure map reference and a good GPS device that makes it possible to find and distinguish them at all. All four appear as little more than slight grass-covered mounds succumbing in various degrees to the encroaching vegetation. One of my less reawarding expeditions!
