Image of Carn Fflur (Barrow / Cairn Cemetery) by GLADMAN

Perhaps it is coincidence that the Afon Fflur (’River of Flowers’) is overlooked on all sides by Bronze Age funerary cairns following its source upon Carn Gron? Perhaps not. Here we look straight toward Carn Fflur (and its quartet of massive monuments) along the course of the river to approx north-west. It is also perhaps significant that the ruined Cistercian abbey of Ystrad Fflur (Strata Florida) is nearby, also name checking the river.
