Country: Wales (Mid Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 5th Nov 2012
Heol y Mynydd Round Barrow submitted by sem on 5th Nov 2012. Barely visible
This barrow seems to be playing hide-and-seek. It is centre left behind the square rock. At 0.3m high, it is not the most imposing of ancient monuments.

Visited: Yes on 6th May 2013
Gray Hill Cairn Cemetery submitted by sem on 6th May 2013. Gray Hill Cemetary
There are meant to be 9 barrows here. We found plenty of lumps and bumps plus the odd stone that seemed to have been placed with a purpose. But even using a GPS, we could not be sure if we had found anything.

Graig Fawr submitted by sem on 17th Jul 2015. It has now been determined that the site has two tombs side by side, though the jumble of stone makes interpreting the layout very difficult.

Visited: Yes on 9th Dec 2008
Gournia submitted by sem on 9th Dec 2008. Mooring Post
I found this placed on top of a pillar in the central courtyard. Judging by the way it has been eroded, I assume it was used to moor boats with and as there is no modern settlement nearby, I assume it is Minoan.

Godre'r Garn Las Stone submitted by sem on 12th Mar 2005. This site is plainly visible on the horizon from the Nant Tarw circles despite the stone being recumbent. I believe it forms part of a processional way to Fan Brycheiniog in the background.

These cairns are clearly visible from the West despite not being on the skyline, as their high quartz content makes them glisten in the sunlight.

Just one of a number of cairns in the area that appear to be "twinned" with others.
The high point on the closest horizon is Trichrug.
