Some more wanderings of The Citizen Cairn when looking at piles of old stones in Wales. Yeah, I know. Come up and see me, some time?

A selection of (mostly) Bronze Age upland cairns to be found under 2,000ft in that wondrous country know as ‘Wales’. They said it couldn’t be done. Hey, but The Citizen Cairn laughs in the face of adversity.

A photographic tour of the upland cairns – and some lower sites – of Pumlumon, Ceredigion by The Citizen Cairn.

Another summary taster of some of Wales’ upland cairns.

15 mins in the company of some of Wales’ Prehistoric funerary cairns located above 2,000ft..

Citizen Cairn’s somewhat random selection of those enigmatic ‘old piles of stone’. Guaranteed not to have included your favourite. Sorry about that :-)

The path starts by an enigmatic rickety bridge crossing the Maesnant...

A quick glimpse of a rather fine hillfort in exceptional countryside.

A pretty substantial round cairn some way to the west of the summit cairn.

Looking across to Esgair y Llwyn from Esgair Rhiwlan

Brief panorama of this remote spot, the key to a visit to numerous sites in the immediate locale... or just to admire the cascading Afon Ystwyth.

Surely among South Wales’ lesser-known great tombs?

This is the vista from the large monument to the approx north-east of the summit pair of cairns. Worth riding out a morning storm to enjoy the moment.

Panorama from the summit of Higher White Tor. Fantastic viewpoint …plus possible hints of a ‘tor cairn’?

Freezing winter’s day upon Waun-y-Gwair (Twynau Gwynion) SO07621198, looking to the heart of The Brecon Beacons

A massive Bronze Age cairn crowns Huntingdon Hill upon Dartmoor. It is known as Huntingdon Barrow or, more interestingly perhaps, ‘Heap of Sinners’, the latter epithet clearly demonstrating the fear these wondrous, enigmatic places installed within the Christian faithful. More fool them, I say.

Overlooking the beautiful Cwm Berwyn within Y Carneddau, a small range of hills to the north-east of Builth Wells.
