Cairn, S.W of Woodland saddle

Cairn(s)

Fieldnotes

I didn't see this cairn on my first visit, but as it's part of the collective round these parts we put that right.
As the name suggests it's southwest of the main group, across the hard going sea of grass that reminds one of Rohan from the lord of the rings.
We came at it from the hill fort of Craig y Castell to the south, even from above it was still hard for me to spot it, but more obvious at ground level.
It is not a stoney spread like the other two, but a grassed over cairn of a good size, with the odd bit of cairn material poking through. Cader idris itself is not visible from it but the cairns of Tyrrau Mawr are and down the valley to Pared y Cefn Hir.
