Log Text: Lovely ambience at this cairn due to the unusual but clever situation. It’s encircled by low rocky outcrops, then in the distance, surrounded by a bowl of mountains. The builders took great care over this. We didn’t want to leave!

Log Text: Simple but very steep 30 minute walk along a waymarked footpath from Gwern Einion. Excellent 360 views from the top. The footpath has been repaired since my unsuccessful attempt two years ago!
The instructions and detailed archaeology plan of the hillfort are in this leaflet -

Coed Cors y Gedol Round House submitted by w650marion on 2nd Mar 2025. It appears in the early spring. The substantial ring of green stones that once was a round house. I like to go and say hello every year, it looks very welcoming. By early summer it will disappear, hidden by brambles and bracken.

Corndon Hill 3 submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Dec 2004. The third cairn on top of Corndon Hill, looking to Corndon Hill 4 and the north east, Midwinter Solstice 2004.
Many of the cairns show signs of interference and digging into; about five such 'holes', three very sizeable, are within this cairn.
View to the north east.

Corndon Hill 4
Date Added: 7th Mar 2022
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 7th Mar 2022. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 2
Corndon Hill 4 submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Dec 2004. The most north eastern cairn on top of Corndon Hill, Midwinter Solstice 2004. Corndon Hill 3, left, and Corndon Hill 2, top right are also visible.
The cairns are substantial, and writing as one who has walked miles to see much lesser cairns, this hilltop is a worthy visit.
My friend, 'Wintertrees', helps gave a sense of scale.
