For me, the key - assuming there is possibility of consensus of opinion regarding such a topic - to understanding Bronze Age upland cairns is to view them from their neighbours. Or at least from altitude. Here, upon the ascent of Y Garn, the great cairn upon Disgwylfa Fawr (top right of image) is obvious. At time of posting Kammer will know better than I the form and vibe it possesses. But I am now intrigued and wish to experience it for myself. Which is what TMA is all about, is it not?
Note Dinas, a little below and to the right of the prominent forestry (upper left), and the sheep within the pastures of Lle'r Neuaddau (centre right). The latter's fine cairn circle overlooks the gorge of the Rheidol, to left.
