Croes Heol-Y-Splott Round Barrow(s) View all content for Croes Heol-Y-Splott

Visited 12.6.11 My last site of the day. By now I was soaked and leaving puddles in Karen's car! We parked at the turn off for St Donats and I walked down the road towards the Barrow. Cars whizzed passed me and the spray from he tyres made me even wetter! The contour of the Barrow was visible as a low mound in a field of wheat; next to the road hedgerow. Like all the others Barrows I had visited today there wasn't much to see and in all honesty one for only the very keen only. I am sure people must think I am mad trapsing about in the pouring rain to look at 'lumps and bumps' in fields? – but I enjoyed myself all the same! p.s - I used to live in the famous area of Cardiff called Splott so visiting this site added a little 'extra'! COFLEIN describes the site thus: A circular mound, 23m in diameter and 0.4m high. (source Os495card; SS97SW30)
