Cefn Cil-Sanws submitted by postman : Site in Mid Glamorgan Wales, looking over the ring cairn to Coedcae'r Gwarthog Summit cairns on the tree smattered hill, in the near distance. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ring Cairn in Mid Glamorgan. Coflein says: A ring cairn consisting of a swath of stones around a slightly raised interior. No evidence of a cist. Approx 15m in diameter x 0.6m in height. Modern linear pattern in centre.

The map just says cairn but good ol' Coflein knows the score, and after the short but steep up hill walk that took us fortuitously straight to it, so do I, and now you do to. Flippin maps, how many top sites are on the map as just another cairn.

It's a good one this , we liked it a lot, a good ring of cairn material with strange spokes radiating from the centre, Coflein wont commit to anything more than modern for these strange spokes.

Good views, more cairns in the near vicinity.
