Hurried past on 29.1.2011, on my way from Nant Tarw to Cerrig Duon. The southern cairn is further up the slopes of Garn Las than the northern, which was out of sight.
Looks like a descent sized, but much disturbed, upland cairn. The land drops away to the north from the cairn.
Two cairns on Garn Las ("The Blue Cairn"), above Nant Tarw. Coflein descriptions:
Cairn I (SN82872499)
Located on a gently sloping natural shelf on the side of a ridge. It measures 10m in diameter and 1m high on the downhill (N) side,0.5m high on the uphill side. The mound is composed of mixed grade stones consolidated with turf. The centre is marked by a shallow hollow 2m across and 0.2m deep.
Cairn II (SN82782476)
A cairn (1 of 2) located on the top of a ridge measures 18m in diameter and 0.9m high. It is composed of loose stones turfed over only around the edges. A large slab embedded in the cairn, SW of centre, possibly represents the site of a cist.
