The massive footprint... a random snapshot of public perception of such monuments was accorded me by a passing, middle aged woman.. ‘are you photographing birds?’ says she. ‘No, I’m here for the archaeology, the Bronze Age cairn’, says I. ‘What cairn?’ says she, clearly bemused. Incidentally Carnedd y Filiast – site of the exquisite ‘Atlantic Slab’ – can be seen approx centre skyline beyond Nant Ffrancon.
