[Note – this and subsequent images dating from 17th Sept 2012 previously thought lost until re-discovered upon a memory stick buried within a drawer]. The western of the northern pair from the west. Or something like that.

Y Gamriw (North)

Cairn(s)

GLADMAN Feb 20, 2014

Located a little distance below, and to the north of, Y Gamriw’s summit cairn, this pair crown a NE-SE aligned ridge, complementing the sentinel monument nicely. In my opinion. There are fine views toward the stone circle (and whatever else may be there...) located in the vicinity of Crugian Bach, not to mention further afield across Cwmdeuddwr.

According to Coflein the north-eastern (Coflein II) is
“A much disturbed cairn, 14.9m by 16.7m and 1.8m high.”

The south-western (Coflein III) is “A tumbled and ill-defined cairn, 15.2m in diameter and 1.5-2.4m high, a large central crater is occupied by rough stone shelters.”
