Pen llithrig Y Wrach is 799 metres high, and has a cairn on its rocky summit. It's not in very good condition, it has to be said but it's still there and recognisable after four thousand years.
It's a long way up and the cairn can't be seen from below so only a climb will do. It was so hot when the kids and I went up we took our boots off and made ourselves at home, for this is more like home to me than anywhere else.
