Image of Tristan’s Cairn (Cairn) by GLADMAN

Looking across Bwlch Eryl Farchog to the Bronze Age cairn crowned Carnedd Llewelyn. What I assumed to be a ‘marker cairn’ upon the ascent ridge is, according to Coflein records, Tristan’s Cairn [indicated]. Perhaps the prominent location – subservient to the summit monument, yet outstandingly sited above Cwm Eigiau – is instructive.
