I think I’ll have to go back with a torch and have a really close look for the rock art.

The Ancient Monument Schedule for the Corbie Knap, the map also shows that there was at least a stone stood at Greenhill before it’s destruction/burial. Also shown are the location of former cairns and most interestingly a Picts fort.

I tend to agree with the older description rather than OS’s more up to date version.
Video of a visit to the Knoew of Lairo, showing how the narrow tunnel opens up like the neck of a bottle to reveal the chamber within.

Half way between the Druids circle and Tal y Fan
is this cairn with cist.
More cairns overshadowed by the nearby stone circles, even though one of them looks like a stone circle.
Surely the biggest of the cairns hereabouts but sadly overlooked by most of the stoney’s (including me).
Untill now.

Another less well defined cist on the other side of the road.
Coflein describes it thus:
A large upright slab 1.5 m wide and protruding from the ground by 1.2 m has two smaller slabs placed at right angles to it to create a stone box. To one side is a short stretch of slab wall, 1.6 m long, 0.5 m tall and 0.6 m high. The internal dimensions of the cist would have been approximately 0.8 m by 1.5 m
